Women's Health Innovators

Through Project Whade, researchers are investigating the links between psychological health, social experiences, and physical activity to develop tools that support women's health and healthy behaviors.

Improving women's health through research

Project Whade (Women’s Health And Daily Experiences) is a groundbreaking research program aimed at understanding the complex relationship between psychological health, social experiences, and physical activity among women aged 40-60 who are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Our team of dedicated researchers, led by Dr. Danielle Arigo, is committed to improving women’s health by developing and refining tools that support healthy behaviors.

With funding from the National Institutes of Health, our research is focused on understanding the unique challenges faced by women in this age group and identifying effective strategies to promote healthy lifestyles. Our work is informed by the latest advancements in psychology and computer science, and we are dedicated to leveraging technology to make our findings accessible to the women who need them most.
