Behavior Change and Application of Tools in Clinical Practice/Health IT

ACPM's Webcast of the Month

Session Description: If your cell phone asked you what you were going to eat every time you stopped at McDonalds, or told you where the closest set of stairs were every time you stood in front of an elevator, would you be healthier? And what if, upon entering Facebook, you were immersed in an accountability environment that facilitated meet-ups, networking and community building that connected to your health goals? Would you be healthier?

This session gives health care providers information on the latest health behavior change technologies available to both providers and their patients, and discuss how these can be applied in clinical practice. It also reviews some of the science behind why these technologies have been developed, and discuss where we expect them to evolve next.
