Lab for Using Technology to Improve Health Behavior

We are dedicated to thinking outside of the gym. Our goal is to approach health behavior change by thinking outside of the gym. to 4:00 p.m.

When most people think about making a health behavior change, they go to old standbys like join a gym, reduce intake of high fat foods... However, making healthy lifestyle changes, whether implementing healthy habits or breaking unhealthy habits, is easier said than done. We are dedicated to discovering innovative and technology-enhanced approaches to understand and intervene upon health behavior.
