    Collapse research overview
    Dr. Materia's research focuses on mobile health (i.e., mHealth) and investigating how wireless portable technologies (e.g., smartphones, wearables) can be utilized to deliver (all or portions of) face-to-face clinical and behavioral interventions, as well as monitor health processes as individuals at high-risk for disease go about daily life. His research centers around implementation science in mHealth and aims to evaluate how various patient-centered (e.g., acceptability, beliefs) and process-specific (e.g., technology design, delivery mode) factors affect the successful adoption, engagement, and sustainability of mHealth programs. His work has a strong focus on behavioral medicine and chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease).
