LKY CIC Brown Bag Lunchtime Talk: “LvL UP; A Holistic mHealth Lifestyle Intervention”

Synopsis

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Smartphone-delivered interventions may offer effective, low-cost, and scalable solutions to prevent these conditions. In this talk, Dr Jacqueline Mair will present LvL UP; a holistic lifestyle coaching intervention developed by her team at the Singapore-ETH Centre to help people eat well, stress less and move more. LvL UP combines an automated conversational agent to deliver motivational interviewing-inspired health literacy content, a suite of behavioural tools, habit forming lifehacks, gamification, and just-in-time adaptive interventions, to support behaviour change and disease prevention.
