Using citizen science to empower physical activity📱
Researchers from the UK, Spain and Canada developed a mobile app that maps out healthy walking routes in Barcelona using real-time air quality and climate information.
The study, published in the open access journal Sustainability, aims to promote exercise in individuals over the age of 55 who are at higher risk of developing non-communicable diseases. The researchers hope to reduce stress on healthcare systems and promote sustainability by reducing the development of these diseases in this age group.
