Wellness and Behavior Change

We explore the use of information technologies combined with research in psychology, education, communication, and management sciences to gain insights on changing behaviors – for personal wellness, peace and wellbeing for the world and sustainability for the planet. With behavior as a measure of success, research catalyzed by mediaX is developing insights to accelerate the development of technologies that people will use in order to achieve their highest potential.

Research Projects

Research is at the center of everything we do. Understanding human behavior is a critical step for the translational research that leads to the design, development and appropriation of technologies that enable and encourage wellness and behavior change.
