Abstract	The widespread adoption of mobile technology has opened the door to a new era for the public health sector. The ability to collect, share and access community health related data are key factors that have made mobile health an appealing addon to medicine practitioners and researchers. Mobile sensing and wireless communications can be exploited to create new information and services that could help prevent health risks, benefiting the community as a whole. As a proof of concept, we have developed an augmented reality application offering an enhanced pedestrian route navigation system, while at the same time gathering quality data through the devices. Thanks to this application we are able to enrich geographical maps on the web with historical data about brightness and noise levels, and to provide pedestrians with an improved navigation.
