Discovery of associative patterns between workplace sound level and physiological wellbeing using wearable devices and empirical Bayes modeling

Karthik Srinivasan et al.

Summary: We conducted a field study on 231 federal office workers using multiple wearable devices to assess the impact of indoor environment on individual wellbeing. Sound level was found to be strongly associated with physiological wellbeing, with the optimal level at 50 dBA. Lower and higher sound levels were related to decreased physiological wellbeing. Age, body-mass-index, high blood pressure, anxiety, and computer use intensive work were identified as person-level factors contributing to heterogeneity in the sound-wellbeing association.

Low-cost, multimodal environmental monitoring based on the Internet of Things

Graham Coulby et al.

Summary: The monitoring of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is becoming increasingly important for health and wellbeing, with new building standards and climate targets creating a need for scalable monitoring solutions. Low-cost MEMS sensors have the potential to address these needs and enable the development of bespoke multimodal devices. Studies have shown that these devices have good inter-sensor reliability and agreement, making them fit-for-purpose for continuous IEQ monitoring.
