CYBER PSYCHOLOGY & BEHAVIOURAL STRATEGY FOR DIGITAL HEALTH
Why Do Users Trust — Or Abandon — Your Health Product?
It's rarely a usability problem. It's a psychology problem: how people build trust online, how digital habits form (or collapse), and what makes someone disclose sensitive health information to an app versus quietly delete it. I diagnose that, and give your team a clear plan to fix it.
Hi, I'm Leah
My background is in Public Health, and I'm currently completing a postgraduate degree in the Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing, the study of how and why people think, and behaviour change patterns. I built LB Digital Insights to bring that specific lens to digital health products: not "is this easy to use," but "does this match how people actually behave, trust, and form habits online."Everything is delivered asynchronously, through in-depth video walkthroughs and written reports, so your team gets senior-level behavioural insight without the scheduling overhead.
Why It Matters
Engagement Isn't a UX Problem, It's a Behavioural Problem.
Most digital health products are usable. Buttons work, flows make sense, the interface is clean, and users still disengage. That's because usability isn't what determines whether someone trusts an app with their health data, forms a daily habit around it, or quietly churns after week two. Those are behavioural and psychological questions, specific to how people act online, not design questions.I work at that layer: cyberpsychology (how people think, trust, and behave in digital environments) combined with evidence-based behavioural science. It's a different diagnostic lens than a UX review, built specifically for products where trust, disclosure, and sustained habit matter more than they do for a typical app.
Trust & disclosure behaviour — Why users hesitate to share health data, and what changes that.
Habit formation, not just on boarding— What keeps people coming back after the novelty wears off.
Evidence-based, not opinion-based— Grounded in behavioural science, not design trends.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Evidence-Based Foundations
Applying validated public health frameworks (e.g., COM-B, EAST) to build sustainable, long-term health habits rather than short-term engagement tricks.
Cyber-psychology
User Behaviour & Trust
Evaluating cognitive load, digital fatigue, and trust mechanics during onboarding to create intuitive, psychological-safe user journeys.
BEHAVIOURAL STRATEGY
Retention & Habit Formation
Pinpointing hidden cognitive friction, refining behavioral habit loops, and protecting Day-30 user retention for digital health platforms.
Neuro-Inclusivity & Accessibility
Inclusive Digital Design
Designing for executive dysfunction, choice overload, and sensory fatigue to ensure digital health interventions support neurodivergent user groups.
BEHAVIOURAL AUDITS & SERVICES
Behavioural Audits
From rapid onboarding reviews to comprehensive cyberpsychology product audits, I evaluate digital health platforms to eliminate cognitive friction, protect activation, and drive 30-day user retention, delivered 100% asynchronously.
Fixed scope
Trust & Engagement Audit
From £1,600 £1,000 Founding Client Rate
What it's for: A live or near-live product where you need to know exactly why users hesitate, disengage, or churn.What you get- A screen-by-screen video walkthrough flagging the specific moments users lose trust or drop-off- A written report explaining the psychology behind each moment - not just "what", but "why".- A prioritised action list your design/dev team can implement without further translationBest for: Founders and product teams who need clarity fast, without commissioning a full research study.
Fixed scope
Behaviour Strategy Sprint
From £2,500 £1,650 Founding Client Rate
What it's for: You're planning a new feature, redesign, or roadmap and want it grounded in evidence from the start.What you get:- A strategic review of your roadmap against behavioural and trust-formation evidence- A full video walkthrough of your current user journey, highlighting friction and trust gaps- A set of clear, actionable briefs your team can drop straight into a sprintBest for: Teams making product decisions now and wanting behavioural science built in, not bolted on.
Custom Scope
Custom Behavioural Research
From £4,000 £3,000 Founding Client Rate
What it's for: You need deeper, bespoke research, for example: understanding a specific user group (like neurodivergent users), building trust into a new feature, or supporting a funding/investor case with independent behavioural evidence.What you get:- Research scoped to your platform, users, and goals- Findings translated into practical guidance your engineering and design teams can use directly- Ongoing async Q&A support to help your team apply the findingsBest for: Organisations with a specific, high-stakes question that a standard audit won't answer.
Limited Time Offer
Founding Client Initiative
As part of integrating emerging cyberpsychology research into actionable product frameworks, I am opening a limited number of advisory slots under a dedicated Founding Partner rate.In exchange for this collaborative pricing, founding partners receive full, high-touch strategic deliverables alongside direct asynchronous guidance. Following the engagement, we ask for a brief testimonial or permission to highlight approved behavioural wins as an industry case study once changes are implemented.
• Full Strategic Scope
You receive the exact end-to-end depth of a standard engagement, including detailed video walkthroughs, behavioral frameworks, and clear product-ready recommendations.• Strictly Confidential & Secure
Your proprietary product data and architecture remain completely protected. Any case studies focus exclusively on non-sensitive, high-level behavioral principles fully approved by your team.• Strict Capacity Cap
To ensure focused, high-touch strategic attention and protect active research commitments, founding partnerships are capped at 3 projects per month.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly is a behavioral & UX audit?
I evaluate your product through the lens of public health behaviour-change science and cyberpsychology — not just interface design. I look at onboarding, habit formation, trust, and the specific moments users disengage, and explain why, using evidence rather than opinion.
2. What do I receive at the end of the audit?
You receive a comprehensive, actionable deliverable designed for immediate implementation:
- A screen-by-screen Loom video walkthrough highlighting friction points in real-time.
- A structured diagnostic report detailing findings, behavioral insights, and prioritized recommendations.
- A clear action plan your design and development teams can execute right away.
3. How much time do I need to commit as a client?
Virtually none. The entire process is completely asynchronous. Once you complete a quick 5-minute intake questionnaire and share app access or demo credentials, I take care of the rest. You will receive your complete audit without needing to attend long briefing meetings or coordination calls.
4. How fast will I receive my audit results?
Turnaround time depends on the scope of your audit:
Lite / Onboarding Audits: Delivered within 3 to 5 business days.
Core & Comprehensive Diagnostics: Delivered within 7 to 10 business days after receiving your completed intake form and app credentials.
Need your audit sooner? Express 48-hour delivery options are available upon request for time-sensitive launches.
5. Who is this audit ideal for?
This service is tailored for digital health companies, health-tech startups, wellness platforms, and product teams looking to improve user retention, user onboarding conversion, or patient adherence. Whether you have an existing app or a pre-launch prototype, the audit delivers actionable clarity.
6. What happens after I receive the audit?
Your audit report includes a written Q&A period via email or async messaging for 7 days post-delivery so you can ask clarifying questions. If you need ongoing support or advice as your team implements the changes, light monthly advisory retainers are also available.
