Digital Interventions for Prevention, Management and Treatment of Disease

Addressing global health challenges such as an ageing population and rising rates of noncommunicable diseases requires sophisticated innovations. Our research and innovation aim to create and deliver the next generation of digital health interventions to improve health across the life course and address health inequalities. We develop preventative interventions to increase healthy behaviors and digital therapeutics for chronic conditions such as asthma and depression.

Our research addresses the core elements of successful digital health interventions, including the development of digital therapeutics and biomarkers, tailoring and just-in-time adaptive interventions, determining intervention receptivity, and addressing health inequalities through digital interventions. 

We are part of the Centre for Digital Health Interventionsand also lead on the CAS ETH in Digital Health.
