Published in: JMIR research protocols (2015)

The AAEI proposed in this paper is a method that can be used to evaluate the status of a person's physical activity. The AAEI is a simple numeric indication that is estimated by analyzing accumulated physical activity and the average number of days spent exercising. The AAEI is suitable for tracking personal physical activity, reminding the user of achievement goals, and allows data sharing by using the Internet. The results have demonstrated that the AAEI is a useful tool for physical activity management.
