T-Mobile G1 Applications » Healthcare & Fitness http://www.tmobileg1applications.com Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:31:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 CardioTrainer http://www.tmobileg1applications.com/cardiotrainer http://www.tmobileg1applications.com/cardiotrainer#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:25:46 +0000 g1apps http://www.tmobileg1applications.com/?p=454 CardioTrainer for Android and the T-Mobile G1 is a fitness application that lets track your running routes, cycling paths, or any other physical activity that involves moving around in the real world (so, no, that treadmill will not work with this app). This app fulfills one of the more fundamental uses a smartphone can be put to – tracking your health goals. In addition to mapping out the routes automatically with the built-in GPS, it also tracks elevation gains and calories burnt. This app also has a voice feature that reads out the relevant statistics, so you don’t need to pause to keep looking it up while running. 

 

The app comes with an associated website. CardioTrainer automatically uploads your training statistics from your T-Mobile G1 to the server so you can see more advanced breakdowns of your activities as well as compare against your histories. There’s a very neat add-on to the app that costs $2.99 that lets you race against yourself to motivate you to improve your times and other metrics. The app itself is free and available on the Android Market now. If sharing your goals helps with your motivation, you can use the facebook app associated with CardioTrainer to share select aspects of your training with your network.

The app comes with an optional custom lock screen that allows first responders to dial from within the app even when the phone is locked. You can set contact numbers of family, your primary care doctor, and insurance service. The app also allows you to enter your current prescription information, any allergies, insurance card details (including your membership number), and any relevant special instructions. 

 

The custom lock screen is optional, but is pretty unobtrusive and still offers other useful information such as battery status and a clock layered over your existing wallpaper. If you decide to not set this new lock screen as your default, it is recommended that you set the app icon on your home screen for easy access. The app comes with useful notifications and tips so that emergency personnel know what to do once they find your G1. This is one of the better health-related G1 apps, and a great tool for anyone with potentially urgent medical concerns.

What They Did

Dyno can be used for many purposes related to vehicle performance such as checking horsepower and determining your car’s engine condition. The energy consumption gage can be used to check your traffic conditions. Dyno can also be used for personal performances such as monitoring your bicycling performance, calculating the calories you burn during your exercise, and your race analysis.

How They Did It

Dyno uses the Android accelerometer to determine real-time horse power, energy consumption and is a better speedometer than the GPS alone can provide.

Google Maps API is used to display your current location in real-time and display location logged for each session.

The number and type of information shown such as display units, display color, etc. is fully configurable.
