About the Study

FitToWork explores how everyday health influences productivity. By combining data from Garmin health tracking devices with simple decision tasks, the project aims to understand how factors like sleep, activity, and heart rate relate to the choices people make. Our goal is to uncover connections between physical wellbeing and cognitive processes, contributing to a deeper understanding of human behaviour and performance.

All personal data is anonymised or pseudonymised, stored securely, and used strictly for academic research purposes in full compliance with GDPR. This study has received full ethical approval from the University of Exeter’s Research Ethics Committee, ensuring that all procedures meet rigorous scientific and ethical guidelines.
