For Research • Digital behavior

Turn digital-wellbeing intent into measurable behavior change.

Ridan gives researchers a real-world intervention layer for studying attention, habit formation, digital wellbeing, and the conditions that help people change.

Behavioral intervention • Real-world cohorts • Privacy-conscious data design

The research opportunity

The most important behavior often happens after the study session ends.

Self-report can show what people remember. A structured intervention can help researchers understand what changes when the digital environment, the prompt, and the replacement habit work together.

  • Study attention and compulsive digital behavior in context
  • Observe behavior across a defined intervention window
  • Test rule-setting, lock-in, and replacement mechanisms
  • Keep participant privacy and consent at the center
What changes

Make the intervention part of the question.

Ridan can support pilots that move from a baseline to a structured behavior-change journey, with agreed measures and transparent boundaries.

One shared language for healthier attention
The student journey

Behavior change is a path, not a switch.

The visual is an original product model: a sequence of small decisions that helps attention move from unmanaged to intentional.

Day 0

Baseline

Addicted / unmanaged

Start with an honest picture of when the scrolling loop takes over and what it is costing the day.

One deliberate step at a time
Day 7

Aware

Notice the loop

Name the triggers, moments, and feelings that appear before an automatic scroll begins.

Day 14

Adjusting

Make the pause easier

Use small boundaries and intentional friction to create a moment for a different choice.

Day 21

Improving

Choose a better next step

Redirect the urge into movement, learning, reflection, or connection before attention disappears.

Day 28

Stabilizing

Make it repeatable

Turn the most useful pauses and replacements into a routine that can survive a difficult day.

One deliberate step at a time
Day 30+

Focused

Protect the new baseline

Review the change, keep what works, and carry a more intentional relationship with technology forward.

One deliberate step at a time
The pilot measures the journey against an agreed baseline — not against a generic promise.
How Ridan works

A practical research layer for digital wellbeing.

The platform can be adapted around a research question without turning participants into surveillance subjects.

01

Define the behavior you want to study

Choose the trigger, intervention, replacement habit, and observation window that fit the protocol.

Ridan intervention
02

Study change over time

A 30-day structure makes it easier to compare baseline, adjustment, improvement, and stabilization moments.

03

Design for participant privacy

Keep personal content private and agree up front on the minimum data needed for the research question.

04

Translate findings into practice

A live deployment can show what is feasible beyond a controlled environment and how people experience the change.

What progress can look like

Make the intervention part of the question.

Ridan can support pilots that move from a baseline to a structured behavior-change journey, with agreed measures and transparent boundaries.

01

A deployable intervention for real cohorts

02

Clear baseline and follow-up moments

03

A mechanism-led study design

04

A research partnership built around consent and privacy

A research collaboration

Build a pilot around the mechanism, not a generic dashboard.

We can scope the cohort, intervention, privacy boundary, and outcome readout together before deployment.
