SurPASS: Automating Device-Based Measurement in Cohort Stuies - ProPASS Event - Prof Holtermann & Dr Gupta

<p>SurPASS: Automating device-based measurement in cohort study research- Prof Andreas Holtermann & Dr Nidhi Gupta</p> <p>Audio of the ProPASS' 4th Annual Meeting 27-28 April 2022</p> <p>---</p> <p class="font_8">SurPASS is a sister project to ProPASS. SurPASS aims to develop and evaluate an e-system for measuring daily physical behaviours (physical activity, sedentary behaviours, and sleep) at work and non-work time of working adults.</p> <p class="font_8">​</p> <p class="font_8">The vision of the SurPASS project is to develop a system for measuring physical behaviours in large adult populations that:</p> <ul class="font_8 color_15"><li> <p class="font_8">accurately measures physical behaviours</p> </li> <li> <p class="font_8">has low participant burden (e.g. easy to use and high hygiene)</p> </li> <li> <p class="font_8">has low administrative burden (e.g. cheap in cost, automated analytics, low logistic burden, high data security, low expertise demands)</p> </li> <li> <p class="font_8">can be used in large-scale surveillances and cohorts</p> </li> <li>​can be used at national and international levels.</li> </ul> <p class="font_8"> </p> <p class="font_8">The system will consist of:</p> <ul class="color_15 font_8"><li> <p class="font_8">A SENS motion® patch-based tri-axial sensor for long-term monitoring of physical behaviours to be attached to the thigh. Such device can be sent to participants via postal mail and participants can attach the sensor themselves. The device can measure and store data for several weeks, and encrypt and transmit data to a secured server.</p> </li> </ul> <ul class="font_8 color_15"><li> <p class="font_8">An app on participants' smartphone to initialise the measurements, provide a user guide, automatically upload data to a secured server, and provide visual feedback on the physical behaviours to the participants after the measurement period.</p> </li> <li> <p class="font_8">A web application for administrators for registering participants, managing sensors, and viewing and exporting dat
