More Information
Summary:Global positioning systems (GPS) have been commonly used in combination with accelerometer devices to measure and spatially track people’s active and sedentary behaviour in outdoor environments, such as neighbourhoods and cities.6 Nevertheless, GPS signals have limited accuracy or can be disrupted within indoor environments, resulting in less precise location data. GeoAI techniques aim to integrate innovations in spatial sciences with AI, particularly deep learning.9 The joint application of IPS and GeoAI would enable precise location data of individuals within the workplace while using the power of spatial analysis. Once a building layout has been established, making substantial alterations to it becomes challenging or, in some cases, impossible. [...]designing (and, if feasible, retrofitting) building interiors to promote health is imperative, but it is still unclear which workplace layouts are most supportive of workers’ active behaviours.
