Presentation at Transportation Techies, August 20, 2015, at Walk Hack Night on the work of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health to install and analyze data from multiple population sensors, including ones using infrared and computed video technology. Population sensors have great promise to promote physical activity compared to wearable devices, which can be expensive, impact privacy, and have low uptake and use.
