Using online social technologies to improve health behaviour

缺乏运动和不良的饮食习惯是澳大利亚死亡和疾病的主要原因。我们的健康行为受到我们的社交网络的影响。更重要的是，澳大利亚人喜欢社交技术，如Facebook和智能手机。我的研究旨在利用这两个因素来创建具有社会影响力的健康计划。我将与视频游戏开发商合作，开发有趣和吸引人的干预措施，以及病毒营销人员和领先的组织来传播干预措施。

Physical inactivity and poor eating habits are leading causes of death and disease in Australia. Our health behaviours are influenced by our social networks. What’s more, Australians love social technologies, such as Facebook and smartphones. My research aims to harness these two factors to create socially-influential health programs. I will work with video game developers to develop fun and engaging interventions, and a viral marketer and leading organisations to spread the interventions.
