Basic Technology Research on Sensing and Computing Everyday Life Behavior for Injury Prevention

摘要

WHO (World Health Organization) announces a ten-year plan of action for children injury prevention in 2006. Children injury is a real problem to be responded transdisciplinarily and globally. A "good" behavior model is key to preventing children injury in everyday lives. Although in the natural sciences such as quantum theory and cosmology, most phenomena can be explained and reproduced in "standard models", there is as yet nothing that could be called a standard model for everyday behavior. Building such a model would require sensing technology for describing phenomena, and modeling technology for constructing theory based on quantification of behavior. With the advent of new technology that has become available in recent years, the technological base needed in order to apply science and engineering to the study of everyday behavior is gradually nearing completion. This technology includes 1) pervasive physical phenomena sensing technology that uses ubiquitous sensor technology, 2) global social phenomena sensing technology that uses internet technology and 3) modeling technology based on the large-scale data that is generated by these sensing technologies. This paper focuses on a problem of child injury prevention and introduces our trial on sensing and modeling of everyday behavior of children.
