ABSTRACT
Systems for behavior change often use additional amplifying factors, e.g. gamification, competition with friends and progress bars. Related work has looked into persuasive systems using these amplifying factors to motivate users to be more active or to drink more. We investigated an unobtrusive persuasive behavior change system without amplifying factors by displaying motivating pictures on a central display. We conducted an in-situ study with 6 participants over the course of three weeks. Participants placed a tablet computer in their homes. On the always-on display, motivating pictures of the categories sports, reading and drinking were shown for one week each. Participants found the system useful to drink more and preferred personalized pictures.

Theory-driven design strategies for technologies that support behavior change in everyday life
CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we propose design strategies for persuasive technologies that help people who want to change their everyday behaviors. Our strategies use theory and prior work to substantially extend a set of existing design goals. Our extensions ...
Goal-setting considerations for persuasive technologies that encourage physical activity
Persuasive '09: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Persuasive TechnologyGoal-setting has been shown to be an effective strategy for changing behavior; therefore employing goal-setting in persuasive technologies could be an effective way to encourage behavior change. In our work, we are developing persuasive technologies to ...
Tracking Diverse Feelings and Activities Encourages Self-guided Holistic Behavior Change
Asian CHI '21: Proceedings of the Asian CHI Symposium 2021Cognitive Behavioral Therapy highlights that people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Self-tracking, however, has mostly focused on a few emotions or activities. We created a mobile/web application to enable the users to track a ...
