Deployment of SPHERE technology in a segment of the ASLPAC cohort
Proposal summary: 

The EPSRC IRC SPHERE is a flagship project that aims to build critical mass in disruptive sensing systems in order to have a transformative impact on prediction, diagnosis and monitoring in healthcare. This proposal is part of a larger deployment which aims to recruit 100 homes in Bristol, the deployed platform will record behaviours at home, data currently non-existent and with great predictive healthcare value. SPHERE requests to recruit a subset of ALSPAC participants to be involved in this health monitoring project as explained in the project outline. Data obtained will not only be of incredible value to the SPHERE project but will also enrich the ALSPAC dataset. At the same time, epidemiological data available for this subset of participants will inform the research carried out with the data obtained by the SPHERE platform.
