- In light of advancements in analytical methodologies which are allowing for progressively lower detection limits resulting in unexpected chemicals being detected in air, water, food, etc., how do we access and utilize this information for safety assessment of packaging materials?
- How do we evaluate the safety of nanomaterials in food packaging?
- In terms of assessing the safety of packaging materials, how much is enough?

- What are the challenges in utilizing recycled packaging materials in food contact applications and how do we address these challenges?
- What are the challenges in identification and safety evaluation of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials? What are the potential approaches for considering NIAS in the risk assessment of food contact materials?
- The challenges of communicating scientific information to a nonscientific audience, particularly the importance of communicating the entire story (example- what we know, what we don't know, not just what we want them to know) while making the information as relevant as possible.

This unique forum investigated current and emerging challenges related to improving energy balance behavior assessment and intervention via technology, and focused on how the research community might embrace and apply innovative new tools.
Am J Prev Med Theme Section: Innovative Tools for Assessing Diet and Physical Activity for Health Promotion
The Tech Summit resulted in four publications, appearing as a theme section in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine:
Advances and Controversies in Diet and Physical Activity Measurement in YouthThis report reviews current developments in dietary intake and physical activity assessment in youth.
Dietary Intake and Physical Activity Assessment: Current Tools, Techniques, and Technologies for Use in Adult PopulationsThis paper summarizes recent technological advancements, such as remote sensing devices, digital photography, and multisensor devices, which have the potential to improve the assessment of dietary intake and physical activity in free-living adults.
Diet and Activity Assessments and Interventions Using Technology in Older AdultsThis paper reports on the findings and recommendations specific to older adults from the “Tech Summit: Innovative Tools for Assessing Diet and Physical Activity for Health Promotion” forum organized by the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute.
Share Save Technology Innovations in Dietary Intake and Physical Activity Assessment: Challenges and Recommendations for Future DirectionsDietary intake (DI) and physical activity (PA) data are used in a variety of ways, including to determine nutrient adequacy and deficiency; to assess nutritional, fitness, and health status; to develop health promotion and behavioral interventions; and to understand food chemical and microbiological exposure, food–drug interactions, and pharmacokinetic effects. Methods used to capture these data must therefore be reliable and accurate to ensure confidence when determining quantitative DI and energy intake (EI), food behaviors, and energy expenditure (EE), especially for real-time monitoring and interventions. Moreover, because the underlying pathways and mechanisms regulating energy homeostasis are not fully understood, improved measures can help address challenges in understanding interrelationships between DI and PA.
