Researchers are developing a platform for smartphones, which allows you to control life, to identify and help prevent stress states and negative emotions that motivate people to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle. This could be a preventive measure for a large number of diseases.
By using the built-in sensors monitor the phone and from local sources, Android Remote Sensing app or AIRS can collect vast amounts of data such as location, weather, noise, number of people in a given place, and calendar events, these e-mail, SMS, phone calls - a complete personal report.
Automatic features are connected with the function of adding emotional data and lift your spirits with a series of emoticons along with text annotations. ECG or heart rate sensors can also be used to determine the physiological reactions.
All this helps to determine how the researchers called, significant events - those that cause stress and strong emotions.
By helping people to control themselves, the system, such as AIRS, may help avoid serious health problems in the future, says Dr. Dirk Trossen, technical project manager at the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge.
