Exploiting social networks for healthcare
Article No.: 69, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
The proliferation of sensor networks, smartphone devices and social networking in the recent years have made it possible to use these technologies to monitor relationships established among humans in order to understand and capture social dynamics for assistive living and healthcare support. This evolution is now driven by participatory sensing systems where users use their phones as sensing devices and provide personal data for the benefit of the community, enabling new social, healthcare applications. One challenging question in these settings is detecting relationships between users of social networks. We initiate a study and propose an approach to measure the strength of social bond between individuals. Our goal is to highlight the capabilities of participatory sensing techniques in assistive living environments.
