Seeing how much the cyber and digital world was able to have widespread influence on the behaviour and knowledge base of the public, it really made me interested in wanting to improve their health habits through cost effective and effective means.
Popularise and normalise digital and e-health interventions as I believe that is where the future lies in terms of improving health behaviours.
Continue working to develop effective digital health interventions.
