COPE Daily launches data collection
COPE-Daily has officially begun data collection as of June 16th, marking a key milestone in its Year 2. Data collection kicked off with its first cohort of 10 participants, based in Surrey Centraland White Rock, and represents a diverse range of community members.鈥�
The initiative aims to better understand the environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity), physiological markers (e.g., heart rate) and behavioural responses (e.g., ACuse) through daily surveys over a 10-day period. By focusing on daily patterns and localized contexts, COPE-Daily seeks to understand the factors that support extreme heat preparedness for older adults.鈥�
With more cohorts to follow in this summer, the team behind COPE-Daily is optimistic about the project鈥檚 potential togenerate meaningful insights that support community carestrategies.
