Behaviour Change Conference 2025

 

 

Date: 2 and 3 April 2025

Place: Lisbon, Portugal at the NOVA National School of Public Health.

The 9th International Conference from the UCL Centre for Behaviour Change will be held in partnership with the Behavioural Sciences Group at the NOVA National School of Public Health.

Competences: Attending the UCL Centre for Behaviour Change Conference in Lisbon was an incredibly enriching experience, both professionally and personally. The event gave me the opportunity to strengthen key competences related to behavioural science, digital health, and applied research.

Reflection:

This conference reminded me that impactful science isn’t just about publishing—it’s about creating change. Listening to stories of both success and failure gave me a more grounded perspective on what it takes to implement behavioural interventions in the real world.

I left feeling re-energized and more connected to a global community of changemakers. The presence and leadership of so many brilliant women in behavioural science was particularly inspiring. It made me reflect on the kind of collaborative, inclusive environment I want to foster in my own work.

Finally, the conference pushed me to take action: to share my ideas more openly, to build bridges with others, and to stay curious. I now see behaviour change not only as a field of study, but as a mindset to carry forward in every project.

Reflections from the Organizing Committee

Date: 19 February 2025

Location: Edifici de Recerca – UOC, Rambla del Poblenou, 154, Barcelona

As a member of the organizing committee, I had the incredible opportunity to help shape and participate in the mHealth BCN Conference 2025, organized by Fundación iSYS ,  with the colaboration of eHealth Center of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Sociedad Catalana de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (CAMFiC) and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, within the framework of BCN Health Innovation Week, led by Biocat and the BioRegion of Catalonia.

This year’s conference was a remarkable gathering of experts, innovators, and healthcare professionals, all committed to exploring the present and future of digital health. The discussions throughout the day highlighted key challenges and opportunities, focusing on:

  • The role of digital health in enhancing well-being and quality of life.
  • The importance of active aging and digital tools that support it.
  • Bridging the digital literacy gap for both users and professionals, preparing for the present—not just the future.
  • Developing user-centered applications, ensuring usability, utility, and long-term adherence.
  • AI’s impact on digital health, its benefits, risks, and potential inequalities.
  • The ethical and responsible use of health data, ensuring accessibility and fairness.

Reflections on the Future of Digital Health

Being part of the conference organization allowed me to see first-hand the complexity of digital health transformation. It is clear that for mHealth to be truly inclusive and effective, we need a multidisciplinary approach, one that embraces technological ethics, unbiased AI, and user-centric innovation.

Our mission goes beyond cost optimization; it is about empowering users and healthcare professionals, making digital health a tool for improving lives rather than a technological barrier.

While digital health has come a long way, we are still at the beginning of this journey. There is much work to be done, countless opportunities ahead, and an exciting evolution yet to unfold.

Grateful to have been part of this inspiring event and looking forward to the road ahead!

Looking Ahead

Date: 5 March 2025

Location: MWC Barcelona

I had the incredible opportunity to visit MWC Barcelona 2025 alongside Imma Grau-Corral. This visit was an inspiring experience, offering a firsthand look at the latest technological advancements shaping digital health, AI-driven personalization, and behavioral design.

One of the most exciting moments was stopping by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) stand, where I explored innovative research and projects that bridge academia and industry. Seeing how digital education and mHealth are evolving through AI, gamification, and data-driven interventions reaffirmed my passion for advancing healthcare through technology.

A huge thank you to the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya team for their dedication and inspiring work!
I look forward to future collaborations between Fundación iSYS, UOC, and Doctorats Industrials.

Let’s see if next year we get the opportunity to present our project on gamified AI-powered health interventions!

“Com fer un pla de gestió de dades amb l’eiNa DMP”

Date: 12 March 2025

Location: online session

 

I recently attended the “Com fer un pla de gestió de dades amb l’eiNa DMP” training session, which provided valuable insights into Research Data Management (RDM) and the importance of creating structured Data Management Plans (DMPs).

The session emphasized the role of open science and the need for well-organized data handling, from generation to preservation and sharing. Learning about the eiNa DMP tool and its application in research projects was particularly useful, as it facilitates the planning and compliance with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). The event also included an interactive Q&A, allowing for discussion on best practices and real-world challenges in research data management.

Thanks to this workshop, we have now started developing the Data Management Plan (DMP) for the SPARK thesis :) .

Women, Science, and Technology Congress (WSCITECH)

Date: 6 and 7 March 2025

Place: Vapor Universitari de Terrassa

Participating as a speaker at the Women, Science, and Technology Congress (WSCITECH) was an insightful experience. This year’s theme, “Women and Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Debates from an Intersectional Gender Perspective,” highlighted the ongoing discussions about bias in AI, representation in technology, and ethical considerations in different fields.

In the health panel, I presented my research on gamification in healthcare for hyper-personalized interventions in breast cancer patients, using AI and behavioural data. The discussion focused on the role of AI in improving patient engagement and enhancing healthcare outcomes, while also addressing the gender biases in medical data and research. There was consensus on the importance of diverse AI development teams and the need to design fair and inclusive models for healthcare applications.

Other panels explored the impact of AI on communication and digital ethics, including concerns about bias in AI-generated images and content moderation. Discussions emphasized the need for ethical AI regulations to prevent harmful applications and ensure responsible use of AI technologies. A key takeaway from the congress was the underrepresentation of women in AI-related fields, with only 22% of AI professionals being women.

Additionally, the next day, I took the opportunity to buy Cristina Aranda’s book! :)
NOTE: Espero ayudar a tu sueño de “forrarte” :P.

Overall, the congress provided valuable insights into the intersection of AI, gender, and ethics, highlighting both challenges and opportunities in the field.
