Using Everyday Routines for Understanding Health Behaviors
We live in a world where the promise of ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things is coming true. We have smart devices that pervade our lives, and that are constantly collecting data about us and mostly discarded as irrelevant. I will demonstrate how researchers can extract relevance from this passively collected data and use it to "image" people's behaviors. I will describe approaches for extracting behavioral routines from smart devices, and then how these routines can help us better understand individual and group human behaviors, as well as anomalies. Using examples from healthcare, I will describe how we can leverage both routines and anomalies to improve our understanding of health-related behaviors and support behavior change.
