LvL UP: Smartphone-delivered interventions against Non-communicable diseases

Dr Jacqueline Mair was invited to give a talk on LvL UP at the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) on 30 May.

At the talk, she presented LvL UP, a holistic lifestyle coaching intervention developed by her FHT Mobile Health Interventions team at the Singapore-ETH Centre to help people eat well, stress less and move more. LvL UP combines an automated conversational agent to deliver motivational interviewing-inspired health coaching, a suite of behavioural tools, habit forming lifehacks, gamification, and just-in-time adaptive interventions, to support behaviour change and disease prevention.

The LvL UP intervention has gone through an intensive user-centred design process and will be evaluated in a clinical trial starting October 2024. The intervention is also being evaluated in collaboration with A*Star and NUS as part of the external page HAPPY study with women who have a history of gestational diabetes.
