Phones as a Health Platform: Phones as a Health Platform Cell-phones are the personal device of choice
The Motorola e680 Phone
Based on Intel PXA271 processor
Full linux distribution
J2ME Java programming environment
…but, no sensors or sensor-network comm.
And this phone is several years old!
Newer phones will have…
WiFi Radios
Advanced games and other applications
Extensive media integration
RFID/NFC readers
…but, still no sensors ot sensor-network interface!
PSI: Phone System Interface : PSI: Phone System Interface The PSI board (groan) is an electronic extension designed for modern high-end cell-phones, which allows researchers to extend the platform and interface with other emerging electronic ecosystems.
e680: Personal device, and user interface. PSI: Sensing and network interface.
PSI Board Specifications: PSI Board Specifications The PSI board is a general-purpose phone extension platform:
MSP430 (same as TelosB)
Interface to phone w/ SDIO extension
3-Axis Accelerometer
802.15.4 Radio
Expansion Connector
NFC Sensing board
MSB board from Seattle
….?
Available to students on a limited basis for class projects!
NFC: Connecting Devices Through Touch: NFC: Connecting Devices Through Touch Near Field Communication (NFC) is a next-generation RFID standard that allows for two-way short-range communication between devices.
Can tell when two devices are (nearly) touching
Can be used to create secure connections between devices
The NFC expansion board for PSI adds NFC capability to the phone platform, allowing one to (for example) easily connect to wearable sensors… ? ? ?
Shimmer: Small Form-Factor Wearable Sensors: Shimmer: Small Form-Factor Wearable Sensors Shimmer is a small form-factor board designed primarily as a wearable sensor. It is similar to the standard Telos motes, except it is smaller and has an embedded accelerometer on-board…
Runs same Tiny-OS as Telos
Has same 802.15.4 radio
3-axis accelerometer
Compact expansion connector
Available to students on a limited basis for projects!
Shimmer is a wearable sensor, while PSI is intended as a phone attachment. They are basically the same electronics with different form-factors…

BUT: Fundamentals of Platform Design: BUT: Fundamentals of Platform Design How the market will mobilize around the idea and make it a success. Why people will use it, and why it will serve their (unmet) needs. What it does, and how it will do what it needs to do. In order to be successful, a brilliant idea needs to address all three aspects of the product ecosystem.
Technology: What is the product?: Technology: What is the product? Success stories?
Failures?
What is a technology that is so wonderful that people will use/buy it despite a horrible business model or no compelling use?
Business: How will economics support the product?: Business: How will economics support the product? Success stories?
Failures?
Is there something where the business model was so good that it could overcome bad technologies or dismal user experiences?
Users: Why will users want the product?: Users: Why will users want the product? Success stories?
Failures?
What is a usage model that is so compelling that users will buy/use it despite a horrible business model or bad technology?
BUT, TUB, UTB, UBT, BTU, or TBU?: BUT, TUB, UTB, UBT, BTU, or TBU? Project tend to start off with one primary driver…
Business model built on existing technology feeding or existing uses
New technology into old businesses or established use models
New uses found for existing technology and business channels
Each category has its associated element of risk and uncertainty…
…but they also have their associated reward and payback.
The important thing is to understand the user need your product meets, how it is enabled by the underlying technology, and how it will be supported by its business plan.
Specifically, how is it different than other products out there?
Hat trick?
Summary: Personal Healthcare & Wellness: Summary: Personal Healthcare & Wellness Technology?
Emerging world of personal mobile & wearable electronics.
But what are the specific technologies that will make a difference?
Users?
Ubiquitous desire to be healthy and well.
But what are the specific cases that need a new product?
Business?
Healthcare is a very large and growing industry.
But who will pay for something different, and why?
