Volunteer Public Health Specialist – Nature Immersion and Health, CrowdDoing.world's Nature Counter

Inspiration Note: You will contribute to bridging scientific knowledge with real-world impact, helping develop evidence-based strategies that harness the power of nature to improve public health through quantified self, functional medicine, and nature therapy approaches.

Qualifications:

  • Medical degree (MD, DO) or Master's/PhD in Public Health, Epidemiology, or related field
  • Experience in public health research or practice, with interest in quantified self methodologies, functional medicine, or nature-based interventions

Project Overview - Nature Counter: This is an unpaid, virtual volunteer role. This is not a financially compensated position.

Join a team working to make the healing power of nature accessible to all through an innovative app that combines quantified self principles, functional medicine approaches, and nature therapy. The Nature Counter project is based on research showing that regular nature immersion - specifically 120 minutes a week - can prevent numerous diseases and significantly improve mental and physical health.

We're developing Nature Counter, an app that tracks time spent in nature and integrates various health metrics to provide a holistic view of an individual's health in relation to their nature exposure.

Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the public health strategy for Nature Counter, ensuring alignment with scientific evidence and quantified self/functional medicine principles
  • Assist in designing studies that integrate health data points with nature exposure data
  • Help analyze health data to identify trends in nature exposure and health outcomes
  • Support the development of evidence-based "nature prescriptions" integrating functional medicine approaches
  • Collaborate with team members to incorporate public health insights into app features
  • Contribute to scientific publications and grant proposals
  • Participate in presenting findings to various stakeholders

Skills & Competencies:

  • Understanding of epidemiology, biostatistics, and public health research methods
  • Interest in health impact studies using quantified self methodologies
  • Familiarity with statistical analysis software (e.g., R, SAS, STATA)
  • Good scientific writing and presentation skills
  • Ability to explain health concepts to diverse audiences
  • Interest in digital health interventions and mobile health apps
  • Understanding of or willingness to learn about functional medicine and nature therapy

About the Research: Our research explores how nature exposure affects public health outcomes using a personalized, data-driven approach. We're investigating how nature immersion can improve mental health, increase mindfulness, and potentially reduce misinformation spread. By integrating quantified self methodologies with nature therapy, we aim to provide individuals with actionable insights to improve their health and well-being.

This is a virtual volunteer opportunity and does not offer financial compensation.

Join us in this innovative initiative to create a healthier, greener world. Help us harness the power of nature, technology, and personalized health data to advance public health, one app user at a time.
