DEM addresses urgent societal challenges in the domains of health, nutrition, agriculture, activity monitoring and community tools through 2 research lines: RL1) makes DEM possible through research on technological building blocks ranging from small sensors to big data; RL2) makes DEM sensible through co-design with end-users in the different target domains. RL1 and RL2 articulate and grow through feedback loops.
