Abstract

There is a novel opportunity to increase awareness of health activities in a person's daily life. One way to do that is through context-aware self-monitoring. We explore design insights from field work and field testing different methods for self-monitoring. We present an innovative design for establishing context-aware self-monitoring that has the potential to improve health.
