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.
