Design and evaluation of persuasive technology to encourage healthier typing behaviors

Persuasive technology for health and wellness: State-of-the-art and emerging trends

“…Therefore, it is difficult to establish long-term effects of PT for health and wellness from existing studies.

Similar to the study duration, the sample size (number of participants in the evaluation of the PT) also varies greatly.…”

“…Physical activity has attracted the most research interest, making up 38% of all the reviewed studies, followed by healthy eating with a total of 25%.

“…Although the majority of the studies (72%) are targeted at behavior and/or attitude change in line with the original conceptualization of PT by Fogg 91 (technology intended to change attitude [35], [41], [42], [44], [45], [48], [49], [51], [52], [54], [59], [64], [65], [67], [69], [70], [89] [10], [74], [78], [80], [82] [87] 39% Qualitative [7], [14], [33], [38]- [40], [43], [44], [46], [ [36], [37], [40], [43], [55], [57], [58], [60], [62], [63], [66], [ and/or behavior), generally, the studies targeted and measured various other behavior-related or psychological outcomes beyond the conventional outcome of behavior and attitude. Similarly, some of the technologies are aimed at reinforcing and strengthening existing behavior (e.g., increase daily step count while others aimed at changing behavior (quitting smoking).…”

PostureChair: A Real-Time, As-Needed Feedback System for Improving the Sitting Posture of Office Workers

“…An entirely software-based product in academic literature is the work of Berque et al [7], which is aimed at improving typing behaviour. Berque et al divide typing behaviour into three different components, which they address individually: typing speed, use of shortcuts, and taking breaks.…”
