UPDATE: PAL Technologies Ltd is based in the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow city centre. Having such a central location, means we have contingency plans for emergencies. This has been in full swing over the last 14 days.

Next up on our summer signing announcements: A new squad of @activpal activity loggers! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ These will enable more of our Physical Activity and Health students to undertake projects in this area 📊📔 #exercisescience #healthscience #physicalactivity
