The Mohn Centre works with local schools, community partners, local authorities, and health and care organisations to tackle health inequalities and create healthier urban living.

WellHome – West London Healthy Home and Environment Study

The WellHome study, led by ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s Environmental Research Group, is the first large-scale community-based project to investigate indoor air pollution. Co-designed with local families, it focuses on children with asthma across 100 homes in White City, who spend much of their time indoors where air quality can significantly impact health.

The study provides vital insights into indoor pollutants such as chemicals and microplastics, shaping health guidance, policymaking, and behavioural change to improve health outcomes.

Led by Professor David Sharp and Professor Tim Constandinou at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and the UK Dementia Research Institute’s Care Research and Technology Centre, this network brings together local authorities, industry, charities, and community partners to develop innovative, low-burden technologies that help people with dementia live more independently.

These solutions are designed with families and carers in mind and are built to fit seamlessly into existing health and social care systems. The aim is to make these technologies accessible to everyone, creating real impact in everyday life.
