Event details

Showcasing LifeGuide: software that allows YOU to create internet-delivered interventions

This one hour seminar will provide a rapid overview of some of the studies being carried out as part of a 10 year programme of inter-disciplinary e-health research at the University of Southampton that has already attracted over £15 million funding to the university over the past 5 years. LifeGuide is unique software pioneered by the university that enables people who have no computing science background to create interactive websites to support management of health and illness - or any other type of behaviour change. The seminar will illustrate the kinds of studies that can be carried out using LifeGuide and how the software will continue to develop and be deployed over the next five years. The seminar is comprised of a series of fifteen 3 minute talks delivered by a variety of different speakers.

If you would like to attend please register for this event with Victoria Hayter (please see contact details at foot of page).
