AppLab was originally developed by a team of researchers at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, for use in a global study to determine the effects of a building’s indoor air quality on human health and cognitive function. After seeing the ways it helped to make this study a success, the team has made the technology available to researchers everywhere.
AppLab has been used to conduct studies in a variety of disciplines. Check out who we've partnered with to see the impact it’s making in public health and beyond.
The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Center for Health and the Global Environment, SUNY Upstate Medical University and Syracuse University implemented a study across six countries and with 500 people globally. The research team collected data from environmental sensors, the Fitbit module, demographic questionnaires, cognitive tests, and by gamifying participant compensation.
Expected to launch in fall 2019, this study will rely on AppLab to research the ways nature impacts our lives, using ecologic momentary assessment methods via smartphone. Researchers hope to provide new insights on OutdoorRx as a way to physical and mental recovery.
Junior faculty investigate social environmental issues across the country, using AppLab to craft a data collection tool for studying issues like sleep quality among college students, energy policy and housing, and the impacts of urban design on health.
