A mobile application utilizing a smartphone’s built-in sensors to track and record the number of steps taken by the user. These applications often leverage the accelerometer within the device to detect motion and calculate steps. For example, a user might employ such an application to monitor daily physical activity levels.
Such tools provide a convenient method for individuals to quantify their movement and encourage increased physical activity. The recorded data can contribute to personal fitness goals, weight management, and overall health awareness. Historically, pedometers served a similar purpose, but the ubiquity of smartphones has made step-tracking capabilities readily accessible to a larger population.
