Description
Summary:In order to achieve the goal of the efficient and more productive education for university students, this study has presumed as the first step toward the goal that the maintenance of students' health consciousness to a certain level is the most important for their study. Since wristband-type wearable devices, one of IoT (Internet of Things) devices are getting popular on campus, this study includes two cases of assisting students' health consciousness. One case is for the purpose of student's BMI (Body Mass Index) improvement. This student has successfully improved his BMI by 2.48 from 30.6 in 12 weeks. Another case is for the purpose of normalizing student's daily sleeping pattern. This student has realized what is the most significant factor to influence her daily sleep pattern. With this awareness and her determination to become more active, she has successfully shifted about four hours toward average starting time of sleep. Both cases show that how to realize their own daily life pattern by themselves is the most important, and wristband-type wearable devices made it possible by visualizing sensed data in charts and values.
