PHEC 291: Innovation, Science, and Entrepreneurship, With Jennifer Huberty, PhD

Public Health Epidemiology Conversations

Technological advances have opened new frontiers for consumer products and services that seek to improve wellbeing. For example, the mobile meditation app Calm has helped millions of people experience better sleep and reduced anxiety.

Joining us for this episode is Dr. Jennifer Huberty, an accomplished behavioral research scientist who has worked with Calm and other technology companies to bridge the gap between science and innovation and take a digital approach to change behavior and improve wellbeing. Today, she has her own consulting business and serves as a fractional Chief Science Officer to digital health companies.

In this episode, Dr. Huberty offers some insight into how the companies she chooses to work with align with her personal values, the roles that courage and curiosity play in her selection process, and why community-based participatory research is crucial for young scientists.

We also touch on the value of non-traditional partnerships, the important perspective Dr. Huberty has gained from viewing public health from an industry standpoint, and more.

Bringing together innovation, science, and entrepreneurship, today’s conversation will inspire you to follow your passion, no matter how unconventional it might seem! So, be sure to tune in today.
