Abstract
The exponential growth of the number and variety of IoT devices and applications for personal use, as well as the improvement of their quality and performance, facilitates the realization of intelligent eHealth concepts. Nowadays, it is easier than ever for individuals to monitor themselves, quantify, and log their everyday activities in order to gain insights about their body’s performance and receive recommendations and incentives to improve it. Of course, in order for such systems to live up to the promise, given the treasure trove of data that is collected, machine learning techniques need to be integrated in the processing and analysis of the data. This systematic and automated quantification, logging, and analysis of personal data, using IoT and AI technologies, have given birth to the phenomenon of Quantified-Self. This work proposes a prototype decentralized Quantified-Self application, built on top of a dedicated IoT gateway that aggregates and analyzes data from multiple sources, such as biosignal sensors and wearables, and performs analytics on it.
