ENACT Wearables Capture Air Pollution Spike After Industrial Fire
Two ENACT environmental wearables deployed in Halle, Belgium, recorded significant increases in nitrogen dioxide, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide after a major industrial fire in nearby Tubize. The incident demonstrates the capability of wearable sensors to detect localized air pollution events in real time and support environmental exposure monitoring.
Protecting Children from Air Pollution: A Public Health Priority
Air pollution is one of the leading environmental threats to children’s health. Through its clinical study in Madrid, ENACT investigates how everyday exposure to pollution may increase the risk of hospitalisation in children with asthma.
Wearable Environmental Monitoring Platform Successfully Tested
ENACT’s wearable environmental monitoring platform completed a successful validation campaign at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium, comparing wearable sensor data with official IRCELine environmental measurements under real-world atmospheric conditions.
Advancing Network Performance Monitoring in ENACT
How do you ensure a complex sensor network performs reliably in real-world conditions? ENACT is developing a comprehensive KPI framework to measure data delivery, energy efficiency, reliability, and scalability, supporting both network optimisation and platform integration.
From Algorithms to Real-World Decision Support
How do you decide where to place environmental sensors for maximum impact? ENACT is developing advanced algorithms and tools to optimise sensor deployment, bridging theory and real-world constraints.
From Requirements to Validation: Z-Inspection® in ENACT
ENACT is advancing its ethics framework by applying the Z-inspection® process to real use cases. This step helps validate ethical and legal requirements, identify risks, and ensure that AI systems are both trustworthy and aligned with real-world conditions.
Turning Environmental Health Evidence into Actionable Policy
ENACT is bridging the gap between environmental health research and policymaking through a Living Lab approach. By engaging stakeholders across Europe, the project co-creates a Policy Brief that transforms complex scientific evidence into practical, actionable guidance for healthcare systems and urban development.
Structuring Use Case Development Through Co-Creation
ENACT is progressing in the co-development of use cases, applying structured methodologies such as the Volere framework and the 5-Helix stakeholder map to translate stakeholder input into actionable pilot designs.
Advancing ENACT’s Wearable: From Prototype Development to Real-World Health Research
ENACT’s wearable device is moving closer to deployment, enabling continuous physiological monitoring combined with environmental data to support exposome-based health research.
ENACT’s Progress on Energy-Efficient Sensing Devices
ENACT is advancing energy-efficient sensing devices and networking solutions to enable long-term environmental monitoring. By reducing power consumption and extending battery life, the project improves wearable performance and supports sustainable data collection.
