A full-day classroom training was held on 26th April 2026 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, for Field Investigators to aid them with technical knowledge and practical skills in physiological measurement, meteorological monitoring, and survey administration.

The first session focused on how to use devices for measuring the physiological parameters, such as blood pressure monitors, heart rate monitors, and surface body temperature. Through classroom discussions and supervised hands-on practice, FIs learned to operate the devices and take accurate measurements.

Next, the Tempnote team led an online session on meteorological monitoring through the device. Investigators were trained to use Tempnote devices to measure indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. The session covered device operation, data recording, and retrieval processes.

In the final session, FIs practiced using the Kobo pre-intervention survey tool. They were introduced to Kobo forms and data collection procedures, ensuring they are ready for smooth implementation during fieldwork.

By the end of the day, the training had strengthened the technical capacity of the field investigators, equipping them to collect accurate and reliable data in diverse field conditions.
