The ENACT Shimmer Manager is now available on Google Play. Developed by RFSAT, the open-source Android application enables researchers to connect to Shimmer sensors, visualise physiological signals in real time, and support future edge-computing applications.
Europe's hottest June on record has highlighted the health impacts of extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and air pollution. Discover why understanding environmental exposures matters.
The ENACT Mid-Term Symposium agenda has been released. Explore the programme and join us in Florence on 28 September for a showcase of AI, wearable technologies, and exposome research.
ENACT will host its Mid-Term Symposium at AIOTI Days 2026 in Florence, presenting progress in AI-based exposomic modelling and wearable environmental sensing for health applications.
ENACT has reached an important milestone: the creation of the Meta Research Database. This shared scientific resource brings together decades of exposome research and provides a common evidence base that will support all five ENACT pilot studies and soon become a public resource for researchers.
Tom De Potter presented ENACT at the European Society of Cardiology's high-level Round Table on Sustainable Cardiology, contributing to discussions on the future of environmentally sustainable healthcare.
At SpinOff Europa 2026 in Sofia, ENACT joined discussions on the future of cardiovascular prevention, highlighting how exposomics, personalised medicine and digital health can contribute to proactive, prevention-driven healthcare systems.
Following approval from Belgium's Information Security Committee, ENACT has begun constructing a large-scale retrospective dataset integrating health, environmental and socio-economic information to support research into exposomic risk factors for non-communicable diseases.
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.
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.
