utilised as a ready-made platform component by wider research projects in the dementias space the platform provides the technology, software and expertise needed to best take advantage of the potential that exists in this area.Results:Currently theplatform isprovidingwearables research infrastructure as part of the Deep and Frequent Phenotyping Study, which offers an exemplar use case of the platforms utility and functionality. In this presnetation the wearables platfprm will be demonstrated alongside the range of devices that are currently being used.Conclusions:The need for improved exposure and outcome measures grows. Wearables provide enormous potential to increase the precision and diversity of measures available to dementia research. The DPUK enviroment allows data fromwearable and other smart devices to be integrated with othermodality data including cohort data to establish more comprehensive datasets.
