Abstract - Smart phone has been widely used as an ideal
assistant for health and fitness. In this paper, we proposed a mobile application for fitness monitoring can help users to become more aware of their health. This application aims to track user's workout activities and monitor and analyze user's health condition. It also gives some instructions and suggestions to the user for maintaining and improving his or her health. Moreover, it provides an assessment of the risk that the user may have deficiency or any disorder about health. Input data are collected from user diet entry, exercise, water intake and diet database. On the basis of any deficiency or disorder we provide diet / tablets to user for improving health as well as we will provide some reference websites to learn more about fitness health and suggest specialist phone number or official website for special advise Key Words: — Health, Fitness, Deficiency, Disorders, Android Application, Centralized DB App, Diet, Exercise, Water, Calories, Intake.
1.INTRODUCTION In the past decade or so, mobile phones were merely seen and classified as portable communication tools, with the sole capability of making calls, without any physical connection to a landline. Today, certain advancements have been achieved in mobile computing industry through the inclusion of GPS systems, accelerometers, and even touch screens. Different kinds of mobile operating systems have been introduced in response to the goal of designing increasingly powerful software to take advantage of the number of processors packaged in computing hardware [1]. Some of these operating systems are the Symbian OS, the Apple IOS Windows Mobile [2] and Android [3]. Due to the advanced nature of computer architectures for embedded systems computing, mobile computing has become well integrated into the very fabric of our modern way of living. It is a very useful tool for personal health monitoring and many devices such as iPhone, iPad, Google Nexus and other mobile computing devices have applications developed for health monitoring and targets specific needs of individuals [4]
improvement in health’, ‘feeling energetic’, ‘feeling good about me’, ‘lowering cholesterol’ and ‘improving appearance’. These adolescent boys also identified some barriers to healthy eating, including healthy food not being available at home or in the school canteen, a lack of control over foods available at home, and a lack of nutritional knowledge (e.g., calorie content, sugar/fat content, fiber content) (Gracey et al. 1996). Nutritional knowledge has been indicated as a factor which influences food choice. However, some researchers question whether an increase in nutritional knowledge necessarily eventuates in improved food choices (Tepper et al. 1997), whilst other researchers have found that nutritional knowledge alone is insufficient to motivate healthy eating (Gracey et al. 1996). Lytle and colleagues (2002) argue that the transition to adolescence, where young people experience an increased need for autonomy and a desire to express themselves, influences young people’s food choices. Furthermore, youth experience peer pressure which significantly influences their food choices (Lytle et al. 2002) [5]. Research has found that mental disorders now account for 49% of the ‘burden of disease’ amongst Australians aged 15 24 years (AIHW 2007), and it has risen 5 to 8-fold among youth of developing nations in recent decades (Eckersley 2008). A recent large-scale Australian study of more than 10,000 students found that students’ wellbeing particularly decreased during high school (Bernard, Stephanou &Urbach 2007). Eckersley (2008) comments that youth “appear to be suffering mental health problems at an earlier age than before, experiencing them at higher rates than older age
groups, and retaining their increased risk beyond youth into older age” (p.10). A quarter of 16-24 year olds report experiencing a mental disorder (e.g., depression, anxiety, substance use disorders etc.) (ABS 2008). Young men, in particular, are at risk of suicide with 24% of deaths in young Australian men aged 15 24 years accounted for by suicide [1].
