Demographics: 39 participants, mixture of graduate students and staff in Computer Science
Size: over 45 million raw data records
Duration: Five weeks
Purpose: Use detailed microtelemetry data to build an agent-based simulation model of a flu-like illness amongst a real population. Preliminary evaluation of efficacy of iEpi tool in a real data collection environment.
Data Collected
- Base Duty Cycle: 5 minutes
- Accelerometer: 1 minute (one minute burst)
- Bluetooth: 1 minute (one minute burst)
- WiFi: 3 seconds (three second burst)
- GPS: 2 minutes (two minute burst)
- Battery: 10 records
- Demographic survey
- Technology usability survey
Outcomes: Mobility and contact dynamics were extracted and place analyses, e.g., identifying the most frequented locations, were performed. Simulations of disease transmission were produced by replicating the habits of individuals while changing disease dynamics. Fundamental performance of the device and system was established.
