Keeping consumers engaged in their efforts to acquire and maintain a healthy lifestyle is a continuing challenge. In this talk, we describe a rule-based “eco system” in which information from a wearable sensor is synchronized with a smartphone that, in turn, synchronizes with the cloud.
Specifically, movement and sleep data is retrieved from the sensor
device via the phone; this data is then integrated with dietary and geolocation data stored on the phone, and then aggregated with other user’s data on the cloud. This talk describes how Jawbone implemented a cloud based RBS in order to notify users with insights that inform them of their progress towards a healthy lifestyle. The social aspect of the application allows building rules that incorporate data from friends and people with similar characteristics, providing more interesting insights.

12. OUR APPROACH
USE A RULE-BASED SYSTEM
Descriptive data
Correlation
Predictive models
Data from external sources
FACTS
Insights
RULES
Priorities and constraints define which rules are fired
and the delivery mechanism.
!
New insights can be created without any code change or server deploy!
24. CHALLENGES
CORRECT BALANCE OF NUMBER OF INSIGHTS
(BE CAREFUL WITH BEING SPAMMY - EVEN IF IT’S A SMART IDEA!)
USER FEEDBACK
(EXPLICIT; IMPLICIT VIA ACTION ITEM; IMPLICIT BASED ON PAGE VIEWS)
27. LESSONS LEARNED
INSIGHTS ARE AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL TOOL
IT’S NOT NECESSARY TO ADD MORE AND MORE FACTS
KEEP LOGIC SIMPLE
TOOLS TO SIMPLIFY RULE CREATION ARE VITAL
CLIPS SYNTAX IS NOT “EASY” FOR NON-TECHNICAL PEOPLE
28. FUTURE WORK
NEW (AND IMPROVED) INTERNAL ADMIN TOOL
INSIGHT CREATION AND TWEAKING (WIP)
MAKE INSIGHTS MORE ACTIONABLE
NEW DELIVERY MECHANISMS
