Research project: UBhave

Currently Active:: Yes

UBhave is a project that received funding of £1.5 million from EPSRC to promote cross-disciplinary research. Our aim is to investigate the power and challenges of using mobile phones and social networking for Digital Behaviour Change Interventions (DBCIs), and to contribute to creating a scientific foundation for digitally supported behaviour change.

Project Overview

This project is associated with the LifeGuide , EmotionSense , and My Personality projects.

Work packages:

How do users interact with mobile behaviour change interventions? What features and elements promote effective engagement?
How can mobile phones collect data accurately about human behaviour and efficiently support real-time feedback for DBCIs?
What are the implications of delivering DBCIs through online social networks?
How can data from real-time sensing and social networks be integrated effectively into DBCIs
