The Wearable Technology Citizen Science Program

Summary

We-TRAC researchers have built a web-portal to allow individuals to voluntarily upload their wearable technology data to a Level-4 secure research database housed at the University of Calgary. This database also serves the University’s research community as a way to safely and securely manage the large amounts of data generated from wearable technology devices. The development of this unique database at the University of Calgary offers us the opportunity to engage in a novel and transformative research program: one we call the Wearable Technology Citizen Science Program.
