Supporting the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyles is a globally recommended cancer control strategy.
Digital health interventions delivered via apps, websites and wearable sensors have the potential to improve the scale and scope of health behaviour change support in Australia. RCT level evidence suggests they are safe, acceptable and can be effective in cancer prevention and survivorship settings. However, they have not yet led to drastic changes in behaviour change support, or health behaviour change at scale.
This presentation will provide a critical review of the research evidence, outline priority areas for enhancing the real-world impact of digital behaviour change interventions and highlight innovative projects aiming to address these priorities.
