Testimonials
Taking the Nutrition and Health Informatics course has transformed my life. Not only did I have a better grasp of how technology can help people live healthier lifestyles, but I also learned how to apply these tools in real life. The section on self-monitoring technologies, such as calorie-counting apps and activity trackers, was especially informative. I now feel comfortable using these technologies to monitor my personal nutrition and physical activity, which has significantly improved my habits. The problem-solving and support sections of the training were also game-changers. Identifying my own challenges to healthy living and devising tactics to overcome them helped me maintain consistency, even when circumstances became rough. The buddy system and group conversations make learning more interesting and inspiring.
