“…It is not clear that current products are adequate for meeting user needs, as [8] cautions that most available diabetes oriented products are primarily for the collection and visualization of data, and are often difficult for users to employ. While there are many papers that assess the effectiveness of an app [12], usability and the limitations of screen dimensions [21], or describe a participatory design process [2], there is still little available research specifically addressing how mobile UIs support self-management processes through assisting actual users in extracting actionable insights from collected data.…”

“…Also careful attention must be taken as to the nature of this human machine relationship: [27] is an insightful paper on this subject. Other relevant work includes [8] on ranking behavior impact factors, and [12] for work on glanceable displays that provoke the user to ask meaningful questions rather relying on a system supplying explicit answers.…”

For those with chronic conditions, such as Type 1 diabetes, smartphone apps offer the promise of an affordable, convenient, and personalized disease management tool. However, despite significant academic research and commercial development in this area, diabetes apps still show low adoption rates and underwhelming clinical outcomes. Through user-interaction sessions with 16 people with Type 1 diabetes, we provide evidence that commonly used interfaces for diabetes self-management apps, while providing certain benefits, can fail to explicitly address the cognitive and emotional requirements of users. From analysis of these sessions with eight such user interface designs, we report on user requirements, as well as interface benefits, limitations, and then discuss the implications of these findings. Finally, with the goal of improving these apps, we identify 3 questions for designers, and review for each in turn: current shortcomings, relevant approaches, exposed challenges, and potential solutions.

We investigate wearable presentation of tracked wellness data, and people's perceptions and motivations for sharing it through a wearable display. Whilst online sharing is a common feature in wellness tracking solutions, the motivations and experiences of users to share tracked data in situ has not been widely studied. We created two functional prototypes-the hat tracker and the tracker badge-which we used as probes in two focus groups to elicit opinions on the content and format of wearable tracker displays. Complementing this, a study where participants used the hat tracker prototype in public locations provides insights on sharing in everyday life use contexts. We report that users appreciate the motivating nature of such displays, but favor the display of positive information. Leveraging prior work, we present a model describing the factors affecting users' willingness to share tracked data via wearable displays, and highlight such displays' potential for supporting behavior change.

“…Besides fitness tracking and sharing, the PCFT-based application may also need to reduce the effort involved and enrich social cues for remote communication. For instance, developing a PCFT-plugin for office software [41] or a glanceable display for mobile applications [19,24] that presents casual social interactions to enable the paired co-workers to get in touch without disturbing their workflow. Vetere et al [64] presented several wearable concepts that leverage tactile feedback to support remote interpersonal interactions.…”

This paper presents a field study on using peer-based cooperative fitness tracking (PCFT) to promote workplace fitness. The social bonding achieved through a collective fitness goal and the sharing of fitness data between two co-workers has been explored as a motivational factor that can encourage physical activity. The study involved 10 dyads of co-workers in two groups (a distributed vs. a co-located group) based on their proximity at work. The effectiveness of the proposed PCFT was examined by comparing fitness data over a period of three weeks: the baseline week, the PCFT intervention week, and the post-intervention week. The proximity effects on PCFT were investigated by comparing the fitness data, goal commitment, and interview results between the two groups. The quantitative results showed that the physical activity of participants in the co-located group improved significantly after the PCFT intervention. The qualitative results suggested that PCFT may improve the awareness of being physically active, stimulate exchange of knowledge to support active lifestyles and facilitate including fitness breaks in the daily work routine. Based on these findings, we discuss design implications for the future development of the PCFT-based applications and their potential contribution to increased office vitality.
