Abstract

In this work, we present SWear, a generalized human crowdsensing platform to collect human behavior data on smartwatches. It uses the stand-alone capabilities of smartwatches to collect data without being connected to smartphones. SWear collects both sensor data (e.g. GPS and audio) and self-reported survey data through micro surveys administered on the watch. SWear has been validated in multiple studies to understand the relationship between humans and their context.
