Current Novel Research Efforts
- Use emerging technology to assist with dietary self-monitoring, physical activity tracking, and provision of social support.
- Internet Assisted Obesity Treatment Enhanced by Financial Incentives
- Do behavioral weight control program that engages the natural social support system of participants through the shared use of technology and social media produces better weight loss outcomes?
- Use of mobile phones to promote maternal and child feeding and nutrition in Nepal.
