Demographics: 38 participants, mixture of graduate students and staff in Computer Science
Size: over 140 million raw data records
Duration: 16 weeks
Purpose: Employ all facets of the iEpi data collection system in a single study. This included sensors, a survey tool, an external weight scale, photo-based online food diary, indoor localization tools, a data analysis suite, aggregate-level simulations, agent-based simulations, and external standalone tools.
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
- On-phone contextual surveys: approximately 3 per day
- Photo Food Diary: opt in optional protocol for participants
- Weight Scale: 20 participants, on their normal schedule
- Demographic survey
- Technology usability survey
Outcomes: Data was collected and a basic analysis was performed; analysis was similar to those performed in SHED1. Successful deployment of federated on device apps (PhotoFoodDiary, SurveyTool) and off device sensors (weight scale).
