About This Cause
Hopelab is a social innovation lab focused on designing science-based technologies to improve the health and well-being of teens and young adults. From our inception, Hopelab has focused on the health and well-being of teens and young adults. Our first project, Re-Mission, helped us understand the link between behavioral science and physical health, showing how changes in behavior can improve health outcomes for young people with cancer. Since then, we’ve built upon that foundational work to encourage childhood physical activity, design family-strengthening tools for young mothers and their babies, and help teenagers cultivate emotion-regulating strategies and skills. To make the greatest impact, we’ve worked with like-minded partners to scale these interventions and deploy them where they’re needed most. As Hopelab evolves, our focus on teens and young adults remains clear. We’re making connections between even more partners, from academic researchers to product design firms to entire healthcare systems. We’re balancing the speed of innovation with the rigors of scientific validation. And we’re refining our unique approach, one that provides a framework for developing and deploying science-based technologies at scale for the greatest impact. We believe that the health and well-being of teens and young adults can be improved by harnessing the positive motivation that creates and supports behavior change. We also believe the toughest health challenges facing teens and young adults can be addressed with scientific rigor, innovative design, and empathy. We design interventions driven by insights from behavioral psychology to have the greatest impact on the health and well-being of teens and young adults. Sometimes this means delivering an app via smartphone or tablet to as many people as possible. Sometimes it means reframing a behavioral health challenge to help shift the conversation among healthcare providers, academics, and policymakers. As we move forward, we’re developing even more meaningful measurements that not only validate our impact, but also allow partners to join us in our work with confidence. Our solutions have always been journeys—ones in which we learned more than we ever thought when we started. And we’ve never taken those journeys alone. Working closely with academic researchers, design firms, and even entire healthcare systems, we’ve developed an approach that combines behavioral psychology with socially aware design for the broadest impact. We look forward to inviting new partners to join us in developing innovative solutions that improve the health and well-being of teens and young adults.
