The development of portable, unobtrusive sensing devices and, where possible, their integration with smartphones, which most people already carry, opens the door for continuous and widespread sensing systems.
In this project we will build on previous experience of using and developing sensors and Apps in exposome research. Initially, these new tools will be implemented in the reference Exposome panel study to test their validity and ease of use. Exposome tools with proven utility will subsequently be applied to longitudinal cohorts (across the Netherlands) with intense phenotyping and biological samples to enable the linkage between external and internal Exposome measures and health.
