Exploring ethical monitoring of physical activity behaviors among adults: a Smart Platform study operationalizing digital citizen science

Although exploratory, early findings suggest that repeated, prospective assessments <i>via</i> ubiquitous digital devices may enhance the validity and reliability of PA measurement. As citizen-owned digital tools become increasingly widespread, ethically leveraging big data through digital citizen science offers a promising approach to improve PA monitoring and support public health efforts.

Abstract

Although exploratory, early findings suggest that repeated, prospective assessments <i>via</i> ubiquitous digital devices may enhance the validity and reliability of PA measurement. As citizen-owned digital tools become increasingly widespread, ethically leveraging big data through digital citizen science offers a promising approach to improve PA monitoring and support public health efforts.
