Residents of the province of Groningen were part of a unique experience from June 2 to 4 in an Art & Technology Lab at Foundation Landgoed de Camping in 't Zand.

What was it all about? Imagine stepping into a specially designed space where art and technology come together in an amazing way. Through the magic of sound, light and choreography, this place becomes a playground for artistic exploration and community building.

Approximately 50 enthusiastic participants participated in this incredible event. They got to interact with the installation using special sensor technology. By simply moving their arms, they controlled the movement, intensity and other aspects of the light and images. And that's not all - they even created and adjusted the sound effects with their movements and heartbeat!

Everyone who participated had a chance to share their thoughts on health sensors and how they felt about interacting with these technologies. And guess what? They had such a heartwarming and positive experience!

A quick tour of lifestyle interventions - BRAVO!

Since February 2023, WP5 PhD student Maxwell and his team analyzed health interventions targeting BRAVO areas (exercise, smoking, drinking, nutrition, stress). Physical activity, mental health and nutrition received particular attention, while interventions for alcohol/drug use and smoking were scarcer. Future programs could use wearable sensors for personalized approaches. They discovered seven unique lifestyle interventions, ranging from lifestyle coaching to sleep pattern regulation.
