Real-time data capture in health psychology: applications in research and practice
- Psychology Matters

About
Advanced technologies allow anyone with a smartphone to collect increasingly sophisticated data about themselves, whether for research, self-management, and/or personal interest. This session will introduce and provide space to discuss different approaches including experience sampling, N-of-1, wearable sensors, and a mixed methods approach that triangulates real-time data capture with data-prompted qualitative interviewing. This session will assume no prior knowledge of these methods.
Date: Thursday 22nd May 2025

Dan Powell is a Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, and expert in intensive longitudinal methods and analysis to explore phenomena relevant to health psychology theory and practice.
