ODL Data Set
Although we're still learning how personal health technology tools can best assist with the collection, interpretation and communication of observations of daily living (ODLs), we want to share the ODLs that the current Project HealthDesign teams are capturing, as well as how they're capturing the ODL data. Although the ODL descriptions currently vary by degree of specificity, our five current teams have refined the capture and measurement processes throughout their studies.
