Research Interests:
Our multidisciplinary team at Cornell is interested in using mobile devices to influence healthy behaviors. The goal of our research is to refine and evaluate behavioral interventions to reduce obesity. We are looking at the effect of positive affect, social networks (co-PI on NSF HCC Kleinberg, PI), social support systems, and cell phone apps on creating sustainable eating and physical activity.
We are using mobile devices and feedback tools to collect data on mood and activities and designing visualization tools for participants to reflect on their own patterns and behaviors over time. These tools could be applied to help monitor, change behavior or create awareness in multiple contexts.
