Background

In 2016, Professor in Preventive Medicine, Inger Torhild Gram, M.D., conceived the idea of collecting a few important lifestyle factors annually from a random sample of people in all the Norwegian counties using smartphones. The project was further developed together with the partners.

In the autumn of 2019, we piloted the new information communication technology solution. We will use the experience from this pilot study to make improvements. We subsequently plan to repeat this national public health survey annually in Norway, and to expand it to other European countries.
