title: Development of an integrated obesity management waist belt system composed of calorie tracking and waist circumference measuring module for long term monitoring.
abstract: A waist belt type simple device was designed to monitor the individuals who are obese and want to maintain their consumed calories and waist circumference changes. Relatively long term monitoring with this device could help them maintain their health conditions. This devised system is composed of calorie tracking and waist circumference module. This study suggests feasible and meaningful results. If users' data are collected largely with this developed system, we can reveal the relationship between obesity and daily life pattern.
