Abstract :
WAVE is an API for Android OS which which allows for easy management of body sensor networks (BSNs) on mobile platforms. It presents a simple framework for health-oriented applications by providing functionality for data collection from sensors and data processing. CalFit is an interactive application built using WAVE that leverages the power of social influence to promote physical activity.
