Special Interest Groups
The EHPS provide many outlets for collaborations based on joint interests
EHPS Digital Health & Computer-Tailoring (SIG)
The European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) Special Interest Group (SIG) in Digital Health and Computer-Tailoring was launched at the 33rd EHPS Conference in 2019 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The SIG was launched after a careful deliberation process in which the needs and the wishes of EHPS members interested in the subject of digital health and computer-tailoring were assessed (https://ehps.net/ehp/index.php/contents/article/view/3308/1189).
The Digital Health and Computer-Tailoring SIG aims to bring together researchers from Europe and beyond to advance digital health research through stimulating networking, knowledge exchange and joint research efforts (https://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/cbc-digi-hub-blog/2019/10/01/joining-forces-in-research-introducing-the-ehps-special-interest-group-on-digital-health-and-computer-tailoring/).
What is the mission of the SIG?
The mission of the Digital Health and Computer-Tailoring SIG is to build a community of interested EHPS members to (1) advance digital health and computer-tailoring research and (2) to provide a forum to discuss new evidence, underlying mechanisms, and specific components of digital health interventions that may lead to enhanced behavioural outcomes.
