Abstract | |||
"""With recent advances in personal communication and sensor technology and the rapid increase in personal smartphone use, researchers are beginning to use personal sensors with bluetooth streaming capabilities and smartphone applications on GPS-enabled devices to collect time and location-stamped data in a variety of different risk factor and medical monitoring studies. The ability to remotely collect detailed risk factor data using smartphone-enabled sensor technology and ecological momentary assessment applications could dramatically improve DCEG?s ability to characterize exposure variability in epidemiologic studies by increasing sample sizes and improving statistical power. This ongoing methodological development study is designed to conduct field evaluations of new technologies that show promise for deployment in ongoing and future DCEG cohort studies.""" |
