104: David Dunne on behaviour change and technology

This week’s episode is with Dr David Dunne. I mentioned a few weeks ago in the reboot episode that I will continue to speak to scientists, applied practitioners, coaches and athletes and those outside of sport. But I also flagged that I want to speak with entrepreneurs and consultants, people who’ve created businesses or are consulting for their income. David is one such person. He is a doctoral  at Liverpool John Moores in the area of how behaviour influences carbohydrate intake. He has done something quite interesting and I would say inspiring too. He’s taken that research and applied AI technology to form a digital application that helps athletes and nutritionists to optimise energy intake (HEXIS). As much as the application, I was fascinated to talk to David about his applied experiences as well as the road into start-ups, investment, product development and ultimately creating value for people.   Hi, I'm Steve Ingham Sports and Performance Scientist co-founder at Supporting Champions.
