Prof Anna Cox talks to Dr Paulina Bondaronek, an expert in behaviour change technology about her journey to studying psychology at university, how her father's disabilities sparked her interest in health psychology, and how she dealt with her own mental health struggles during her PhD. They also discuss her research on behaviour change technology which has shed light on how apps that are supposed to help us stay physically active, often fail. It’s a good question: when there are over 300,000 health apps available, why aren’t we all much fitter?
Dr Paulina Bondaronek is an expert in behaviour change technology, and is currently a behavioural insights advisor at Public Health England. Her PhD was on the public health potential of mobile health applications to increase activity, and she's published on the relationship between popularity, and the likely efficacy of physical activity apps.
