Wireless wellbeing and personalised health
The wireless wellbeing and personalised health node focuses on leveraging wireless sensing technologies, digital platforms and mobile applications to enable self-monitoring and behaviour modification in nutrition, physical activity and sleep. By integrating these innovations, the node aims to advance holistic health outcomes.
Our vision is to integrate cutting-edge wireless technologies and digital platforms with personalised health strategies to foster sustainable improvements in individual and population health. We aim to provide accessible tools and insights that leverage the power of social media and online food systems to engage and motivate users and support informed health decisions.
We investigate the role of wearable and wireless technologies, digital health tools, and social media in monitoring and improving health behaviours. Recent research focuses on the influence of online food delivery platforms on dietary choices and how social media engagement can promote healthier behaviours. Our interdisciplinary team collaborates across fields to design solutions that address real-world health challenges, emphasising the synergy between technology and behaviour change.
This research aims to revolutionise dietary behaviour assessment and feedback systems, incorporating emerging digital trends such as social media and online food systems. By making health monitoring and behaviour modification more accessible, our work addresses the challenges of contemporary lifestyles and promotes informed decision-making. Leveraging digital engagement tools, we aim to amplify the societal impact, particularly among young adults and urban populations.
