The Lifestyles Lab

About the lab

The Lifestyles Lab at The Ohio State University integrates behavioral science, human-centered design, and digital health technology to create and test scalable lifestyle interventions.

Our goal is to make evidence-based wellness practices—such as movement, nutrition, and stress management—more accessible, personalized, and sustainable for all.

Our Approach

We combine behavioral science, human-centered design, and digital health innovation to create interventions that help people live healthier lives.

Behavioral Science – Understanding what drives change.

We study the psychological and social factors that influence behavior—what motivates people, what barriers they face, and how sustainable change happens.

Human-Centered Design

We co-design digital tools with survivors, caregivers, and clinicians to ensure our solutions are meaningful, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience.

Digital Health Innovation

We develop and evaluate scalable, personalized digital technologies that support physical activity, stress management, and nutrition.

Together, these three pillars guide our mission—turning science into digital solutions that improve everyday health and well-being.
