Your Smartphone Knows You
Did you ever wonder just how much your smartphone knows about you? Thanks to the mobile application development and many other sensors, it knows more about you than your think. Although it might make some people that are concerned about privacy slightly nervous, the data that the phone collects could be put to good use. Take the tri-axial accelerometer, which senses how the phone is positioned in space and could be used to track the type of movement which can then be used in any number of health apps. Another way that sensors can be used is through the accelerometer to determine a person's gait, such a distinguishing feature that it can be used for identification purposes. Taking the gait idea further, it can be used to identify gait problems which are related to other health issues and the app can alert the user of potential hidden issues. The sensors offer a whole new field of mobile application development.
