The evolution of emerging technologies that use Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) has increased the interest of the scientific community and society regarding the possible adverse effects on human health and the environment. This article provides NextGEM’s vision to assure safety for EU …

This paper compares different low-cost sensors that can measure (5G) RF-EMF exposure. The sensors are either commercially available (off-the-shelf Software Defined Radio (SDR) Adalm Pluto) or constructed by a research institution (i.e., imec-WAVES, Ghent University and Smart Sensor Systems research group …

Blog. Sense Ecology is een duurzaam en praktijkgerciht kunst-onderzoeksproject. Het project onderzoekt alternatieve manieren om het landschap te ervaren, en onderzoekt en ontwikkelt nieuwe methoden en hulpmiddelen voor biodiversiteitsonderzoek. Sense Ecology ontwerpt en ondersteund projecten die zich …

This chapter describes the growing influence of point-of-care diagnostics (POCD) on the daily lives of citizens, their immediate families, and healthcare providers. With a view to the future, the most important contemporary developments in this field are discussed, such as noninvasive sensor technology …

Athlete development depends on many factors that need to be balanced by the coach. The amount of data collected grows with the development of sensor technology. To make data-informed decisions for training prescription of their athletes, coaches could be supported by feedback through a coach dashboard. …

We aim to set up a continuous low cost monitoring system for electromagnetic fields in the Netherlands, so that a trend in exposure to 5G signals can be observed. A number of options will be explored for this, such as software-defined radio and measurement nodes for specific 5G frequencies. We developed …

The worldwide rise of skin cancer incidence rates increases the need to investigate ultraviolet radiation (UVR), as it is one of the main causes of skin cancer. 1 A ’ u to UVR varies depending on different factors such as the location of the individual and shielding effects. In this analysis, we evaluated …

Background: With increasing knowledge on the adverse health efects of certain constituents of PM (particulate matter), such as silica, metals, insoluble ions, and black carbon, PM has been under the attention of work safety experts. Previously, we investigated the perceptions of blue-collar workers in …

Workers do not always showcase adequate knowledge on potential long-term health effects and other properties of particulate matter (PM), which may lead to a decreased tendency to work safely in a high-PM environment. To empower workers to work more safely in environments with high PM exposure, we developed …

This paper reports on the first stage of a research project1) that aims to incorporate objective measures of physical activity into health and lifestyle surveys. Physical activity is typically measured with questionnaires that are known to have measurement issues, and specifically, overestimate the amount …
