The "Ashoka Cohort for Health and Well-Being" is a research project that aims to explore personalized lifestyle recommendations by studying the physiological responses of Ashoka University students and staff to various external stimuli. The project involves a digital-first system designed to collect high-quality, digitized data from participants using wearables, including smartwatches and continuous glucose monitoring sensors.
The cohort seeks to better understand lifestyle patterns related to diet, physical activity, sleep, stress, and digital media use, as well as the heterogeneity of physiological responses to these stimuli. It is being conducted with the goal of enrolling 412 participants. The findings from this cohort will contribute to the development of personalized lifestyle recommendations for health and well-being.
