By linking our lifestyle habits with healthcare records, we aim to answer questions about how our daily lives and habits influence long term health. 

  • Does data from smartphones and wearable devices give clues about our health as we age?
  • How does the smartphone and wearable data of healthy people compare to people living with health conditions?
  • Could we uncover early signs of disease through detecting small changes in daily activity?
  • Could doctors use smartphones and wearable devices to monitor health and disease in the future?

We believe this research has the power to transform healthcare - for you, your children and your community. By taking part, you’re helping to build a healthier future for everyone.
