Type of data | Measured variables | Employed devices |
---|---|---|
Climate-related data | Indoor (in every sampled household, n = 500): temperature and relative humidity measurements (every 15 min) | iButton data logger; Switchbot |
Outdoor (5 weathers stations spatially covering the Nouna HDSS catchment area in 10 km diameter): temperature, precipitation, wind speed, wind direction, solar radiation (every 15 min) | Validated weather stations | |
Remote sensing-based land use and land cover classifications, surface water occurrence maps (quantification and identification of water bodies and wetlands) | Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite | |
Reported and measured health status | Consumer-grade wearable devices (daily activity measured in steps, sleep with regards to sleep length and sleep quality, heart rate; in a sampled population of n = 500) | Garmin vivosmart 5 (former: Withings Pulse HR) |
Anthropometric measurements (in 10% sub-sample of HDSS population) | Recumbent length: Seca 417 (measuring range 10–100 cm); used for children unable to stand or shorter than 85 cm Height: Seca 213 (measuring range 20–205 cm); used for children able to stand and taller than 85 cm Weight: Seca 878 (measuring range up to 200 kg, uncalibrated) (WHO Child Growth Standards, 2006; World Health Organization (WHO), 2008) | |
Morbidity-relevant questions incorporated into the standard HDSS data collection, focusing on self-reported health status (in 10% sub-sample of the HDSS population) | Android-based tablets to run Survey Solutions software |
