Abstract
Ubiquitous lifecare (u-lifecare) is regarded as a seamless technology that can provide services to the patients as well as facilitate the healthy people to maintain an active lifestyle. In this paper, we develop a sleep monitoring application to assists the healthy people for managing their sleep. It provides an unobtrusive and proactive way for the self-management. We utilize the embedded accelerometer sensor of the smartphone as a client node to collect the sleeping data logs. Our proposed model is server-driven approach and process the data over the server machine. We classify the body movements and compute the useful sleep analytics. It facilitates the users to keep the record of daily sleep and assists to change their unhealthy sleeping habits that are identified by our computed sleep analytics such as bed time, wake up, fell asleep, body movements, frequent body movements at different stages of the night, sleep efficiency and time spent in the bed. Furthermore, we also provide our pilot study results to demonstrate the applicability with the real-world service scenarios.
