Big data against childhood Obesity

The societal problem of soaring obesity rates in children is being tackled by EU-funded project BigO. Collecting and analyzing big data on children’s behavioural patterns and their environment, BigO will extract evidence on which local factors are involved and how they influence childhood obesity. BigO will enable public health authorities to plan, develop, and execute effective programs against obesity.
