Adaptive interventions for health behavior change

Principal Investigator(s): Predrag Klasnja Links to an external site., School of Information

Unit(s) involved: School of Information

Summary: This project will design effective but unobtrusive interventions that can provide support at times and in contexts when a person is most receptive or at risk.

There will be experimentation in how AR headsets can provide such interventions, providing cues for high-risk situations, or for healthy behavioral options that are appropriate and actionable in the current situation.

The goal is to build priming interventions that help keep health goals salient on an ongoing basis. We would build VR environments where individuals could learn and practice coping strategies when adopting healthier behaviors.
