Motivation
• Location lifelogging plays an important role in
providing context for behavior
• Will enable us to build more effective,
impactful tools

5 May 2013
What and Why?
• The problem we are addressing is in
supporting people in behavior changes around
health and wellness.
• The growth of self-monitoring tools has
enabled many people to more closely monitor
aspects of their health and wellness.
• These tools are unable to provide any smart
guidance or wisdom about what to do about
that information.

Outline
• What is location lifelogging?
• Making sense of location traces:
– Identifying stays versus travels
– Identifying roles of stays and travels
– Recognizing patterns, routines and drift
– Defining cohorts
• Incorporating health & wellness data

Making Sense of Location Traces
• Identifying stays versus travels
• Identifying roles of stays and travels
• Recognizing patterns, routines and drift
• Defining cohorts

Stays versus Travels
• Goal: Identify periods of traveling versus
periods of staying in one place.
• Challenges for real-time detection:
– When is the transition between a travel and a
stay?
– How long does someone have to stay in one place
to qualify as a stay?

Identifying Roles
• Roles capture the semantic meaning of place
to an individual
– “Home”
– “Work”
– “Commute to work”
• Challenges:
– Different places have different roles for different
people
• The grocery store

Recognizing Routine and Patterns
• Goal:
– Identify recurring patterns in places
• Challenge:
– It’s unclear how long patterns exist
– It’s unclear how long it takes to determine a
pattern
• Has the pattern changed by the time we recognize it?
• Do some people have more routinized patterns than
others?

• People who want to change but struggle don’t
know why
• People are bad at describing what they do and
why they do it
