Partners

University of Exeter

As the lead partner, the University of Exeter is responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of the Smartline project. The University also leads on the research aspects of the project, working with all the project partners and businesses to analyse and interpret data sets, to inform new products, processes and services and identifying needs and service gaps.

The Smartline project builds upon the University’s research which explores how where we live impacts our health and wellbeing. Ultimately, the project hopes to be able to use information both to inform and predict potential health and wellbeing issues.

The Smartline project office team are based at the Medical School’s European Centre for Environment & Human Health, based at the University’s Truro Campus in Cornwall.
Please visit the Research page for more detailed information on the research themes.

Cornwall Council

The Smartline project is an exciting partnership opportunity for Cornwall Council to be involved in.

We are currently transforming services to help us improve the health and wellbeing of residents and this project will help us gather insight into people’s needs and the environment in which they live and enable residents to influence improvements that meet their needs and ensure their homes are energy efficient.

The potential for businesses to use this information to help them design products and services contributes to our plans for growth and prosperity in Cornwall.
