Gillian R. Hayes, Karen Cheng, Julia Rich, Dan Michael Cooper · 2010
Capture and access technologies to collect and report Observations of Daily Living (ODLs) can strengthen support of caregivers at home. We present a mobile capture and access application for parents of newborns conducting in-home assisted exercise routines: FitBaby. This system enables parents to log ODLs through input forms on SmartPhones and automatic collection of sensor-based data. The system allows for real-time prompting and feedback to caregivers. This paper describes the challenges to caring for preterm infants and how ODLs, specifically those collected by FitBaby, can support these activities and improve health outcomes.
