Abstract
The report covers activities and conference sessions regarding questions and strategies for implementation of the project which aims to develop and build capacity of an information and communications technology-based (ICT-based) platform. This will collect low-cost, high-frequency, high-resolution dietary and health data, and will combine accuracy and frequency through recording events in near-real time. The workshop focused on the following issues: i) What data should the tool/platform collect? ii) Tool-functionality, and methods for testing it, along with comparison to traditional data collection methods iii) Potential uses and scalability of the tool.
