Digital health has so much promise for scalable, affordable, and personalized interventions that improve people’s lives. But so far, digital health designers have struggled with getting people to use-and keep using-the interventions they build. What’s missing? The marriage of behavior change science and the design process. In this presentation, we’ll talk about how to make a digital health experience “sticky” by infusing it with support for people’s basic psychological needs. Research on motivation can guide the design of effective and engaging interventions that finally live up to the promise of digital health.

Amy Bucher, Ph.D., is the Behavior Change Design Director at Mad*Pow in Boston. Amy focuses on crafting engaging and motivating solutions that help people change behavior, especially related to health, wellness, learning, and financial well-being. Previously she worked with CVS Health as a Senior Strategist for their Digital Specialty Pharmacy, and with Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions Group as Associate Director of Behavior Science. Amy spent many years designing and product managing digital health coaching programs such as health risk assessments, chronic health management programs, behavioral health interventions, medication/therapy adherence, and wellness programs. Amy received her A.B. magna cum laude in psychology from Harvard University, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in organizational psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Amy is the author of the upcoming Rosenfeld Media book Engaged: Psychology for Digital Product Design.

Although headset-based AR/VR has been receiving most attention and investment recently, it’s possible to create engaging user experiences situated in physical environments without the use of wearable technology for display or interaction. In this talk Bove will use a variety of examples from his lab to illustrate both the technological approaches and the application scenarios.

Hands down, driving is one of the most dangerous things we all do each day. And the stats are scary. Every year on US roads, 40,000 people die and 6,000,000 are injured. Driving is the #1 cause of death among teens. And while autonomous vehicles promise a safer future, we needn’t wait that long. If we could eliminate 5 seconds of distracted driving and speed up car crash responses by 8 minutes, we could have safer roads today. 

In this talk, Rafi Finegold, VP Consumer Experience at TrueMotion, will discuss how technology is being used at scale to quantify and understand driving behavior, and how UX and behavioral science techniques are being used to influence it.
