Behavioural & Gamified Digital Interventions for Youth Health

Assistant Professor at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) - Metaverse Lab

Odense, Denmark

About

The SDU Metaverse Lab at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) supports Horizon Health projects focusing on prevention, behaviour change, and mental well-being among children and young people.

We have expertise in predictive modelling of affective responses and behavioural outcomes, affective computing, and the design and evaluation of AI-driven and game-based digital interventions. Our work supports healthy engagement, motivation, and behaviour change, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based validation.

We contribute to consortia through:

  • Behavioural and affective modelling of engagement and well-being

  • Design and evaluation of gamified and digital health interventions

  • Interactive demonstrators to validate intervention impact

  • Human-centred evaluation of digital technologies affecting mental health

We seek to join larger consortia as a partner, contributing to intervention design, evaluation, and impact-oriented work packages.
