Abstract

The overall aim of RICHFIELDS is to design a research infrastructure for the collection, integration, processing and sharing of consumer generated data as related to food behavior and associated lifestyle activities. An important part of the RICHFIELDS design will center on the evaluation of the scientific, technical, legal and ethical aspects related to integration and governance of consumer-generated data on food behavior. The tasks related to Deliverables5.1 to 7.1 are to implement the provided quality framework and operationalization of Deliverables 5.3-7.3 and to collect the necessary data for the creation of an inventory of data and data collection tools. The aim of the inventory is to provide a list of data collection tools which is representative for the variety of tools used by and accessible to the general public, the methodologies they implement, the health and lifestyle parameters they collect and integrate. The tools and data collected in this inventory provide the basis for the identification of possible scientific, legal, technical and ethical gaps and needs regarding the use and integration of the consumer generated food behavior data and to capture developments to improve or simplify current practices in the collection and integration of food consumption data. The Deliverables 5.1-7.1 share a common framework and tool for data collection, but the tools and scientific data collected for the inventory are specific for the domains purchase (D5.1), preparation (D6.1) and consumption (D7.1)). Also, domain specific search strategies for the generation of their respective part of the inventory have been applied. The present report is based on the inventory of tools related to food consumption and lifestyle data (Deliverable 7.1). The result of this deliverable are 1) the inventory in the form of a database of food consumption tools and methodologies (mainly smart phone apps) including the associated quality information related to the dimensions of scientific relevance, legal governance and data management, which was collected based on the quality framework and operationalizations developed and described in Deliverable 7.3, 2) a description of the methodology underlying the generation of this inventory including the tool selection and data collection process and 3) aggregations of relevant descriptive data about the tools listed in the inventory. Aggregations, analyses and evaluations of the collected information related to the quality criteria developed in Deliverable 7.3 will be part of Deliverable 7.4 and 7.5.
