Participants : Arnaud Legout [correspondant] , Inderjeet Singh, Maksym Gabielkov.
The ElectroSmart project is based on a large crowd sourcing collection of electromagnetic radiations measured by the ElectroSmart application running on real users smartphones. We target a large number of users and many scientific exploitation of the collected data, exploitation that we describe in the following.
Exposure of human beings to electromagnetic radiations is a growing worldwide health concern. While the biological impact of electromagnetic radiations is not fully understood, there are reports of hypersensitivity to such radiations and hints toward a possible correlation between high exposition and cancer. However, the biological impact of electromagnetic radiations is just one half of the problem, the other half is the exploration of the real exposure of the population to electromagnetic radiations. Indeed, whatever the biological impact, it will be function of the level of exposure, and this level of exposure is unknown.
Collecting the real exposure of human beings to electromagnetic radiations is a complex task. It is possible, but costly and time consuming, to ask auditing organizations to make one-shot measurements. However, there is no way accessible to the general audience to make long term measurements.
The goal of this project is to create the first long term measurement of the electromagnetic exposure of a large worldwide population. This project is supported by the Inria ADT ElectroSmart.
