Digital health interventions/therapeutics

I am a health professional and experienced researcher at the University of Southampton, specialising in the development and evaluation of interactive web-based digital behavioural health interventions.

I am seeking collaborators interested in developing and evaluating digital interventions/therapeutics (DTx) for

· the prevention or management of physical and mental health conditions

· promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours (e.g. physical activity, healthy eating)

· supporting home rehabilitation programmes

· delivering training to health professionals

· implementing decision aids

· supporting behaviour change across a range of domains (e.g. climate change, parenting practices, financial behaviour, etc)

· other relevant applications not covered above

I offer support across intervention development and evaluation, combining expertise in the Person-Based Approach (Yardley et al., 2015), including qualitative research and real-time user studies to optimise intervention content and usability, with responsibility for all technical aspects of intervention design, deployment, and hosting, using a research-ready digital intervention platform.

The platform provides an end-to-end solution for developing and hosting interventions, collecting data, and conducting trials, and has successfully been used for multiple large-scale studies and RCTs over many years.

Platform features include:

· User account management (signup, login, password management)

· Consent and eligibility screening

· Automated randomisation

· Content tailoring based on user data

· Email and SMS messaging (e.g. reminders, motivational messages)

· Questionnaire administration

· Goal setting and review

· Automatic usage data capture

· Secure data collection and storage

· Dashboard to manage trial: participant data, randomisation, sessions, email/SMS messages

· Data export functionality

· Mobile-friendly, responsive design

Additional functionality may be added based on project requirements.
