What ritual are you searching for?
We are exploring whether environmental information, existing consumer wearable signals and people's own experiences can help us understand individual responses to a new climate — and ultimately support more personalised adaptation guidance.
Moving country can change temperature, humidity, daylight, weather, indoor conditions and everyday routines. The impact is not necessarily the same for everyone.
What has changed between the environment a person was accustomed to and the environment they are living in now — including temperature, humidity, daylight and weather?
Can existing consumer devices help identify changes in areas such as sleep, activity, recovery and other physiological or behavioural signals?
What is the person actually experiencing — including changes in energy, sleep quality, skin comfort, mood, routines and perceived adaptation?
Can existing consumer wearable signals, combined with environmental and short self-reported data, identify meaningful individual responses to a change in climate or environment and support personalised, actionable climate-adaptation wellness guidance?
Rather than assuming that every measurement collected by a wearable is useful, we want to understand which signals are genuinely meaningful, what can reasonably be inferred from them, and which combinations could ultimately lead to useful actions for the individual.
Our particular interest is the transition from one environmental baseline to another and how the individual responds over time.
Consumer technology, environmental data and recent academic work are making it increasingly possible to investigate how individuals respond to their surroundings.
A 2026 proof-of-concept study published in JMIR Formative Research combined Fitbit wearable data, smartphone GPS, environmental exposure information and short real-time self-reported assessments.
The small exploratory study demonstrated the feasibility of integrating these different sources of information and highlighted their potential for future personalised environmental-health research.

Sharmina's initial interest in voluntary international relocation is narrower and distinct, but sits alongside a growing research conversation around environment, mobility, adaptation and wellbeing.
Explore the WHO publication →The objective is not to collect as much data as possible. It is to determine which information is scientifically meaningful and useful.
Our objective is not to manufacture another wearable.
We are interested in the interpretation layer between the individual, existing technology and their changing environment.
If the underlying research supports the concept, our longer-term ambition is to translate it into something people can actually use.
Initial use cases could include international students and internationally mobile employees adapting after relocation between substantially different environments.
Sharmina's origins in skincare provide one focused area in which aspects of environmental adaptation could potentially be investigated.
Changes in environmental conditions may be relevant to skin hydration, comfort and barrier function. A future study could investigate relationships between environmental transition, self-reported skin changes and objective measurements such as skin hydration or transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
This provides a potential measurable application within a much broader research direction around climate adaptation and personalised wellness rather than skincare alone.
Any future health-related or physiological claims would require appropriate scientific validation and, where relevant, suitable clinical or regulatory expertise.
Sharmina Wellness is based at Trinity Innovation Hub in Dublin and is interested in collaborating with researchers and academic partners across relevant disciplines, including wearable technology, data science, environmental exposure, behavioural science, digital health and human wellbeing.
Identifying scientifically meaningful variables and appropriate baselines.
Understanding which relationships are meaningful and what the data can reasonably tell us.
Translating evidence into safe, useful and personalised adaptation guidance.
Our longer-term ambition is to develop and validate an evidence-based Climate Adaptation Wellness model capable of supporting a scalable digital platform for personalised environmental adaptation.
