Subject
Mobile and pervasive computing Android Biosensor Biofeedback e-Health
Recently, Google launched the Android mobile operating system
and several mobile devices already support it. This paper
proposes a mobile Android-enabled tool for collecting,
monitoring, and analyzing intra-vaginal temperature. A previous
proposed intra-vaginal sensor acquires temperature values and
sends the collected data to Android device over a Bluetooth
connection. The Android tool allows women for real-time
monitoring of their temperature with mobility support and
following their daily life. Woman can control and detect their
fertile and ovulation periods when this human parameter
increases about 0.5ºC over their regular temperature. Other
application of this solution includes the preterm labor
prevention. The proposed system was evaluated and validated,
and it is ready for use.
