About us.

We're SMASH LABS, a research group at Brown University's School of Public Health. We build tech that helps people make healthier choices.

 
Whether it's making an appointment with the doctor, limiting meal portions, remembering to take a medication, or quitting smoking, patient behavior is increasingly at the center of healthcare. That's why, at SMASH LABS, our focus is on helping support behaviors that enable healthier lives, by inspiring patients to change and helping them maintain those changes.

Over the past decade, technology has made just about everything about our lives easier, from making dinner reservations to managing our money. We believe tech also has the power to make healthier choices easier, and to encourage patients to keep making them over time.

Often called "electronic" and "mobile" Health (eHealth/mHealth), most of our work explores various ways that technologies (PCs, smartphones, tablets, and other internet-connected devices) can be use to help understand relevant behaviors, facilitate change, and maintain changes, for the benefit of patients' long-term health. While our work addresses many areas of health, a major focus is on sexual health.
