Proud of Drs. Wright & Mac, the latest PhD graduates of HaPI lab. Dr. Wright's thesis looked at 'Integrating Digital Health & Behaviour Change Following Bariatric Surgery’ & Dr. Mac's thesis was on ‘Understanding QR Code Check-in & Compliance Behaviour in the COVID-19 Pandemic’. Well done to both 🎓🥂
