OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Longitudinal research is a powerful tool. By following groups of people across time, we can track how things change, or stay the same, in their lives. The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) houses four of the UK’s national longitudinal cohort studies, tracking the lives of tens of thousands of people. Each of the four studies follows large, nationally representative groups of people born in a given year. Increasingly, we have turned to new technologies and methodological innovations for a multitude of purposes for the cohort studies. This talk will cover some of the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of wearable technology and biomeasure collection in a longitudinal context, illustrated by our experiences on the CLS cohort studies.
