Longitudinal Sensor Data Collection/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal Sensor Data Collection

Longitudinal sensor data collection deploys physical or digital sensors to record phenomena continuously or at regular intervals across an extended study period — days, months, or years. Unlike one-shot measurement, the repeated temporal structure captures change, trajectory, and variability in outcomes such as physical activity, environmental exposure, sleep, or physiological state. The approach combines the ecological validity of real-world sensing with the analytical power of longitudinal design.
