Boomer Mobile Health
Hot Mobile News
Hauppauge has launched a sub-?100 device that transmits TV captured on your home PC to a remote device. TV Anywhere is a USB2 digital TV receiver and PVR that plugs into your home PC and TV antenna socket allowing you to record television programmes. The software then uses the home broadband connection to deliver live TV or recordings to any device with an Internet connection. That could include a Wi-Fi equipped laptop sitting in a hotspot or mobile phone.
The Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab as part of its Mobile Persuasion programme has a Boomer Mobile Health Project. This assumes that the considerable development of mobile health devices, applications and services will influence changes in the behaviors of older adults in the area of physical and mental fitness, disease management and education.
Today they describe the Nike + ipod Sport Kit. With the kit, as you run or walk, the sensor sends information to your iPod nano, tracking your time, distance, pace, and calories burned. If you choose, real-time, spoken feedback can even alert you to milestones throughout your workout. This information can then be synced with a desktop computer, stored and compared.
It sounds most interesting. I wonder if they’ll check which spoken feedback works best.
