This Small Business Innovation Program (SBIR) Phase I project is to conduct a feasibility study for the development of wireless sensor network application for a personal healthcare product that monitors and gives feedback about sedentary work habits. This society is becoming increasingly aware of the toll current work environments have on the physical wellbeing. This project will be an unobtrusive embedded solution and desktop/mobile data analysis application to help people monitor their work patterns so that they can adjust their work environments appropriately. Wireless sensor networks are emerging as a new paradigm for connectivity, data retrieval and systems control for a range of applications from healthcare and environment monitoring to consumer products. This personal healthcare product and enabling technologies will provide the foundation for a wireless sensor network development environment that will be targeted to human centered computing researchers, designers, and manufacturers who need to develop medium to large-scale wireless sensor network projects and products, but do not have access to the engineering expertise that is required to develop such systems. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project includes extending wireless sensor network technologies into new product domains of personal healthcare and consumer products. Manufactures, researchers, architects and designers have a growing need to use mesh wireless sensor networks to monitor and control complex built environments. Rather than use these technologies for passive monitoring of ambient environments, this project focuses on the human-in-the-loop as an integral component with the agency to change their environment for the betterment of their physical wellbeing. The technologies developed for a mixed-reality game application will be migrated into a robust, user friendly, affordable, and scalable solution for the original equipment manufacturer and business-to-business products and research projects.  

该小型企业创新计划 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目旨在对开发用于监控久坐工作习惯并提供反馈的个人保健产品的无线传感器网络应用进行可行性研究。这个社会越来越意识到当前的工作环境对身体健康造成的损害。该项目将是一个不显眼的嵌入式解决方案和桌面/移动数据分析应用程序，帮助人们监控他们的工作模式，以便他们可以适当地调整他们的工作环境。无线传感器网络正在成为连接、数据检索和系统控制的新范例，适用于从医疗保健、环境监测到消费产品等一系列应用。 这种个人医疗保健产品和支持技术将为无线传感器网络开发环境提供基础，该环境将针对以人为本的计算研究人员、设计人员和制造商，他们需要开发中型到大规模无线传感器网络项目和产品，但又不希望这样做。无法获得开发此类系统所需的工程专业知识。该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力包括将无线传感器网络技术扩展到个人医疗保健和消费产品的新产品领域。制造商、研究人员、建筑师和设计师越来越需要使用网状无线传感器网络来监视和控制复杂的建筑环境。该项目不是使用这些技术对周围环境进行被动监测，而是重点关注人在循环中作为该机构的一个组成部分，以改变他们的环境以改善他们的身体健康。为混合现实游戏应用程序开发的技术将迁移到为原始设备制造商以及企业对企业产品和研究项目提供强大、用户友好、价格实惠且可扩展的解决方案中。
