Crowdsourcing Solutions for Data Gathering from Wearables

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of crowdsourcing databases and crowdsourcing-related challenges and open research issues for data collected from wearable devices. It is shown that, with the advent of smarter wearable devices, the complexity of data gathering, storage, and processing in crowdsourced modes will increase exponentially and new solutions are needed in order to cope with larger data sets and low energy consumption in wearable devices, while ensuring the integrity and quality of the collected data.
