  • Conference paper
Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare (MobiHealth 2012)

In this paper we present a communal activity-monitoring concept that utilizes SNS and sensor technology. We propose that acceptability of the activity-monitoring system can be increased with context aware data delivery and by using social media as a platform for the monitoring system.
