Welcome to the first e- & mHealth SIG newsletter for 2021! |
Dear e- & mHealth SIG members,
Despite the bustling 31 days of snowstorms, rain, sunshine, wind, hail and frost, the month of March always promises ‘hope springs eternal’ and ushers in a sense of renewal. For me, as for all of us, I can’t wait to leave the challenging year behind and spring forward to an exciting time ahead as we prepare for an eventful 2021 for the ISBNPA e- & mHealth community.
In this newsletter, we are asking for the best paper nominations for 2021 and your most daring ideas for ISBNPA XChange. Have a peek below for news about our inspiring upcoming joint webinar with the Implementation and Scalability SIG and our research highlights.
Finally, we thank Hannah Brown for her 2-year service to the SIG on the newsletter team and wish her all the best in her new position as a Research Officer at Everymind in Newcastle (Australia). We would also like to welcome Maria Vasiloglou who is a PhD student at Universität Bern (Switzerland) - get to know her better in our member spotlight!
With no further ado, we welcome you to read below and wish you a renewed 2021!
Your Co-Chair,
Mavra Ahmed, PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Nutritional Sciences
Joannah and Brian Lawson Centre for Child Nutrition

We are collaborating with the ISBNPA Implementation/Scalability SIG. Our webinar will showcase the scale-up and implementation of novel technological physical activity and nutrition interventions for impacting behaviour change and subsequent chronic disease risk. The joint webinar will be held on April 19, 2021 (details forthcoming) and will feature:
Corneel Vandelanotte, PhD, Research Professor at CQUniversity, Link to Bio
Alison Brown, Accredited Practicing Dietitian and PhD(c), at the University of Newcastle and Hunter New England Population Health, Link to Bio
Further details will be shared on our twitter account (so make sure you're following us @isbnpa_emh) as well as via an e-blast.

Call for Nominations: SIG Publication Award |
|
We are looking for innovative e- & mHealth papers published in 2020. Papers must be directly or indirectly relevant to diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviour and/or sleep. We are keen to identify papers that have strong potential to move our field forward. The impact or reputation of the journal in which it is published is not relevant.
The award is open to researchers at any career stage.
You will be asked for the following information:
1. Your name, affiliation and career stage
2. The full reference of the paper
3. The abstract of the paper
4. A short (50 words) statement highlighting why your paper is interesting/innovative whilst focusing on its relevance to the e- & mHealth field related to diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviour and/or sleep.
We will announce the winners at the ISBNPA XChange virtual conference 2021 and in the post-conference newsletter.
We look forward to receiving and reviewing your work!

Member Spotlight:
Meet Our Newest SIG Committee Member!

Maria Vasiloglou
PhD Student,
Universität Bern, Switzerland
What is your current program of research?
Currently I am working in the field of innovative technologies for dietary assessment. I’m a member of an interdisciplinary team mostly consisting of engineers. I am mainly involved in goFOOD project which involves an image-based app designed for dietary monitoring and assessment. Our goal is to validate the app in different settings for chronic diseases and for lifestyle purposes. I am also closely working on exploring healthcare professionals’ and users’ perspectives on nutrition apps. I believe that in order to increase users’ app engagement, we first need to take into account their needs and preferences!
What excites you most about working in e- & mHealth?
In my opinion, advances in technology can truly improve the currently used dietary assessment methods both in clinical practice and in epidemiological studies. Overcoming barriers existing in those methods, such as utmost dependence on human memory and observation, while optimizing accuracy in the automated methods are compelling and fascinating processes. The constantly growing scientific evidence related to the field is also definitely an exciting part about working with e-&mHealth. More and more people start to realise that it is not only enough to develop great e-& m-health systems, but we also need to work together with healthcare professionals and end-users of these systems to finally create a complete and useful solution. I also deeply believe that people who do not have easy access to healthcare facilities will benefit from the advances in e-&m-Health which can substantially improve their quality of life.
