The next phased of the program, pending approval from the university’sd institutional review board, will seek volunteers amongb users to keep track of their data anonymouslty fora time. Pavlidis said such large-scald monitoring of physical activity pattern will enable accurate mathematical modelingf that is useful inresearchintg obesity, energy consumption and massive emergency
