Abstract

The exponential growth of the technology industry over the past years has led to the development of a new paradigm. Pervasive Computing, which seeks to integrate computational capabilities into ev- eryday objects so that they can communicate efficiently and perform useful tasks in a way that minimises the need for the end-users to inter- act with computers. Along with this paradigm, new technologies, such as wireless body area sensor network (WBASN) and robotics, have been rapidly growing. Such innovations can be used as health and wellness enablers. This paper introduces a system to support the health and well- being of people in both in-door and out-door environments. The system consists of an app, a robot and a remote server. The app and the robot can be connected to a wristband to monitor movements, physical activ- ities, and heart rates. Furthermore, the app provides functions for users to record and monitor their calories intakes, and completed workouts. The robot is equipped with speech capabilities which, integrated with the emotion recognition algorithm, provide supportive feedback to the user. The proposed system represents an early step towards automated care in everyday life which opens the doors to many new scenarios, such as for elderly people who need help but live independently or also for people who would like to improve their lifestyles.
