The primary aim of the GEI Improved Measures of Diet and Physical Activity program is to develop new sensor devices and systems that provide objective, reliable, low-cost measurement of personal-level exposure to dietary intake and physical activity that can be used in free-living populations. Research projects resulting from this FOA are expected to bring about substantive technological improvements. In the area of physical activity assessment, such improvements are sought in objective methods using motion or physiologic sensors, monitors, imaging methods, cellular telephone and wireless technologies, as well as bioinformatics tools and database solutions. Approaches to assess usual dietary intake could take advantage of existing technologies, such as: sensors, scanning, and/or other measurement devices; imaging techniques; wireless technologies; and software and database applications.
