Description/Mission Statement

Mission: To promote health and health equity by advancing the science and practice of behavior change through the optimal and responsible use of technology and informatics.

Vision: To support an active, interdisciplinary community that works across sectors – academia, healthcare, industry, government, nonprofits, and the community – to build and disseminate ideas, knowledge, and evidence related to the use of technologies and informatics in behavioral medicine. This includes the use of digital health technologies and information sources by patients and healthcare providers, as well as the design, implementation, and evaluation of behavior change interventions delivered through technologies or using behavioral informatics.
