StepTrack-App

Project Overview

Title

StepTrack: A Comprehensive IoT and Cloud-based Activity Monitoring System

Objective

Develop an integrated system that leverages smartphone sensors, edge computing, and cloud technology to monitor and analyze user activity levels, providing real-time and historical data insights.

Components

1. Smartphone Application (StepTrack-Mobile)

   • Functionality: Tracks user steps using the smartphone's StepCounter sensor. Data is stored locally and transmitted to the edge device periodically.
   • Features:
     • Continuous step counting with local storage.
     • Periodical data transmission to the edge device via MQTT.
     • User is identified by a username.
   • Technologies: Android, Kotlin

2. Edge Application (StepTrack-Edge)

   • Functionality: Receives raw step data from the smartphone app, aggregates the data and forwards it to the cloud server.
   • Features:
     • Real-time data processing.
     • Communication with both the smartphone app and cloud server.
   • Technologies: Spring Boot

3. Cloud Application (StepTrack-Cloud)

   • Functionality: Hosts a web application that presents a live leaderboard and offers historical analysis of user activities.
   • Features:
     • Tracking of user activities and step counts.
     • Historical data analysis and progression tracking.
     • Web dashboard displaying individual and aggregate statistics.
   • Technologies: Vue (frontend), Go (backend)
