The increasing level of air pollutants (e.g. particulates, noise and gases) within the atmosphere are impacting mental wellbeing. In this paper, we define the term ’DigitalExposome’ as a conceptual framework that takes us closer towards understanding the relationship between environment, personal characteristics, behaviour and wellbeing using multi...

In this letter, we present the development and evaluation of the Urban Wellbeing mobile application that employs real-world, momentary assessment of the environment and it's link to wellbeing using multi-model sensor data and self-report wellbeing. Several industry standard environmental sensors comprised of Particulate Matter, Ozone and Nitrogen...

The ubiquity of location tracking on smartphones allows us to monitor, collect, and analyse large trajectory data in real-time. Time series classification and clustering is an efficient way to analyse trajectories. A remarkable amount of research on the relationship between urban environments, health or wellbeing has been conducted including our pr...

Environmental factors (such as Particulate Matter 2.5, noise, and gases) have been shown to significantly impact momentary mental wellbeing. As the population grows across the world it is expected that around 66 % of the global population will live in urban areas by 2050 [1]. In addition, with 91 % of people living and working in places whereby air...

The proliferation of miniaturized electronics has fuelled a shift toward environmental sensing technologies ranging from pollution to weather monitoring at higher granularity. However, little consideration has been given around the relationship between environmental stressors (e.g. air pollution) and mental wellbeing. In this paper, we aim at captu...

The novel coronavirus, designated by the World Health Organization as COVID-19 has required many countries around the world to close work spaces, schools and public venues. This has required policy makers and venue managers to investigate practical mitiga-tion strategies using technology to exit the lockdown safely and enable the reopening of publi...

The growth of mobile sensor technologies have made it possible for city councils to understand peoples' behaviour in urban spaces which could help to reduce stress around the city. We present a quantitative approach to convey a collective sense of urban places. The data was collected at a high level of granularity, navigating the space around a hig...
