“…Of the 45 studies, 34 did not specify a theoretical underpinning of their design. Of the 11 papers that did use a theoretical model, the most commonly used theory was the transtheoretical model (25%) [39,60,70], followed by the theory of planned behavior (17%) [43,48] and self-determination theory (17%) [52,76]. Five other papers based their designs on, respectively, persuasive system design model [67], goal setting theory [57], distributed prospective memory approach [50], social cognitive theory [38] and social learning theory combined with the theory of reasoned action [48].…”

“…Twenty-six interventions were specifically designed for the office environment, while 19 studies had a more generic approach in which they did not specify the context of use. Eight papers reported an evaluation of their intervention on SB or PA [35,37,43,65,66,77,78]. Thirty-three studies did not give a definition of PA or SB, while nine studies provided a definition of PA and four studies offered a definition of SB (Table 3).…”

Background: There is increasing interest in the role that technology can play in improving the vitality of knowledge workers. A promising and widely adopted strategy to attain this goal is to reduce sedentary behavior (SB) and increase physical activity (PA). In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art SB and PA interventions using technology in the office environment. By scoping the existing landscape, we identified current gaps and underexplored possibilities. We discuss opportunities for future development and research on SB and PA interventions using technology. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Association for Computing Machinery digital library, the interdisciplinary library Scopus, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore Digital Library to locate peer-reviewed scientific articles detailing SB and PA technology interventions in office environments between 2009 and 2019. Results: The initial search identified 1130 articles, of which 45 studies were included in the analysis. Our scoping review focused on the technologies supporting the interventions, which were coded using a grounded approach. Conclusion: Our findings showed that current SB and PA interventions using technology provide limited possibilities for physically active ways of working as opposed to the common strategy of prompting breaks. Interventions are also often offered as additional systems or services, rather than integrated into existing office infrastructures. With this work, we have mapped different types of interventions and provide an increased understanding of the opportunities for future multidisciplinary development and research of technologies to address sedentary behavior and physical activity in the office context.

“…To represent the activity, we use a battery metaphor, that has already been evaluated in previous works [2] (green light represents a high activity level, while a red light means sedentary behavior) to show that the patient is active or may need some encouragement.…”

Interpersonal social interaction, building relationships and the communication with others are key needs of every human being. In particular, people who are suffering from a serious illness will often experience a strong desire to communicate how they feel, their worries and sorrows, or important experiences to gain support from people they trust like friends & relatives. In this work we discuss the requirements for the design of unobtrusive technologies to support the communication between patients and their relatives. We also present design concepts and prototypes based on these requirements. These devices are especially useful when illness inhibits the patient from using conventional methods of communication or if the patient doesn't wish to burden their loved ones with the depth of intimacy they crave.

“…Similar to Breakaway, Hong et al [15] designed a flower-shaped avatar to provide an ambient feedback about different sitting behaviours. In addition, other display techniques, such as ambient lighting [16] [17] and haptic feedback [18], have also been widely employed in relevant design.…”

-This paper presents a within-subject field test (n=24) with Flow platform, a smart cushion that uses interactive music to motivate office workers to break excessive sedentary time. In this study, we compared continuous music and interactive music as reminders to inform sedentary time by every 15-min. After each treatment, a questionnaire adapted from Flow State Scale was used to measure participants' experiences and thus motivations with interactive and non-interactive music. Moreover, a postinterview was conducted with every participant individually to gather insights on the challenges and opportunities for current design. This study examines if the interactivity as an additional factor could influence the music as a motivator to prevent sedentary behaviours among office workers. Our findings suggest a further design iteration to appropriate the concept more to the context of office.
