Mobile Application to Stimulate Physical Activity in Schoolchildren

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

We present the "e-Gibalec" system, which was designed to stimulate and motivate schoolchildren to be physically active and to assist physical education (PE) teachers and parents to track their progress. The system consists of a smartphone application which uses built-in sensors to monitor activities, and a web application for PE teachers and parents. We present an overview of the system and its functionality. We also provide an initial evaluation of the accuracy of the monitoring obtained on 10 schoolchildren, and their subjective evaluation of the mobile application, which is quite positive.
