My team & I worked with Dr. Melissa Napolitano, an associate professor in the Department of Prevention and Community Health at Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, to study whether a technology-based program can lead to weight loss among college students.

We built a platform empowering her team to run several parallel cohorts of college students receiving varying levels of direct intervention through SMS (text messaging) and Facebook. The platform enabled sending & receiving messages, tracking student-reported data about health & attitude, monitoring potentially-concerning changes in status, and more.

The platform needed to be HIPAA-compliant, and stable, enabling the grant-funded project to run a full 18 months without constant & expensive management from developers.
