UPDATE: PAL Technologies Ltd is based in the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow city centre. Having such a central location, means we have contingency plans for emergencies. This has been in full swing over the last 14 days.

Just finished my very first poster presentation on #EHPS2021 on the accuracy of the #Fitbit to measure short bouts of #physical activity and #sedentary behavior!

Thanks for the lovely questions and interaction!
