“…The majority of studies included the usage measures of engagement (ie, activities completed, time, or logins; n=18), whereas 3 studies included subjective experience measures of engagement [ 40 , 46 , 48 ]. Participants across all the studies were predominately female (71%).…”

“…The 3 studies that described an association between subjective experience and physical activity used different measures to assess subjective experience. Bronner et al [ 40 ] used an Exergame Questionnaire that included questions similar to previously validated questions to assess subjective experience engagement in video games. The Exergame Questionnaire contained separate sections for engagement, game flow, and usability.…”

“…This is the first review to examine the relationship between DHI subjective experience engagement and physical activity. Only 3 studies have reported associations between subjective experience and physical activity, with 2 of the associations in the hypothesized direction [ 40 , 46 , 48 ]. Each study used different self-reporting tools to assess different constructs of subjective experience (ie, website usefulness, app likeability, engagement, game-flow, and usability), which has previously been identified as an issue in the assessment of subjective experience engagement [ 60 ].…”

Background The effectiveness of digital health interventions is commonly assumed to be related to the level of user engagement with the digital health intervention, including measures of both digital health intervention use and users’ subjective experience. However, little is known about the relationships between the measures of digital health intervention engagement and physical activity or sedentary behavior. Objective This study aims to describe the direction and strength of the association between engagement with digital health interventions and physical activity or sedentary behavior in adults and explore whether the direction of association of digital health intervention engagement with physical activity or sedentary behavior varies with the type of engagement with the digital health intervention (ie, subjective experience, activities completed, time, and logins). Methods Four databases were searched from inception to December 2019. Grey literature and reference lists of key systematic reviews and journals were also searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they examined a quantitative association between a measure of engagement with a digital health intervention targeting physical activity and a measure of physical activity or sedentary behavior in adults (aged ≥18 years). Studies that purposely sampled or recruited individuals on the basis of pre-existing health-related conditions were excluded. In addition, studies were excluded if the individual engaging with the digital health intervention was not the target of the physical activity intervention, the study had a non–digital health intervention component, or the digital health interventions targeted multiple health behaviors. A random effects meta-analysis and direction of association vote counting (for studies not included in meta-analysis) were used to address objective 1. Objective 2 used vote counting on the direction of the association. Results Overall, 10,653 unique citations were identified and 375 full texts were reviewed. Of these, 19 studies (26 associations) were included in the review, with no studies reporting a measure of sedentary behavior. A meta-analysis of 11 studies indicated a small statistically significant positive association between digital health engagement (based on all usage measures) and physical activity (0.08, 95% CI 0.01-0.14, SD 0.11). Heterogeneity was high, with 77% of the variation in the point estimates explained by the between-study heterogeneity. Vote counting indicated that the relationship between physical activity and digital health intervention engagement was consistently positive for three measures: subjective experience measures (2 of 3 associations), activities completed (5 of 8 associations), and logins (6 of 10 associations). However, the direction of associations between physical activity and time-based measures of usage (time spent using the intervention) were mixed (2 of 5 associations supported the hypothesis, 2 were inconclusive, and 1 rejected the hypothesis). Conclusions The findings indicate a weak but consistent positive association between engagement with a physical activity digital health intervention and physical activity outcomes. No studies have targeted sedentary behavior outcomes. The findings were consistent across most constructs of engagement; however, the associations were weak.

“…Previous research has also shown that features unrelated to the core function of a device, including set-up and maintenance routines as well as over-featured interfaces and un-needed functions, can cause negative responses in users (Blackler et al., 2016; Rust et al., 2006), and that ordinary men and women do not use all the complex features that are offered by current self-tracking apps (Didžiokaitė et al., 2017). Results from a study of five popular dance-based exergames showed that games that had a higher usability rating and increased energy expenditure reflected highest on engagement scores and were thus more likely to be used again (Bronner et al., 2015). Our study showed that easy to use interfaces helped to keep people engaged, confirming these previous findings and highlighting the importance of careful feature inclusion and design in order to maximise engagement.…”

This study investigated the role of Self-Service Technologies (SSTs) in dance-based exercise in order to begin exploring the motivations behind the use (or not) of SSTs by ordinary men and women in this context. The research approach employed interviews to gain insights into participants' use of SSTs and their exercise practices, in order to start establishing ways in which dance can be re/incorporated into people's lives through the design of appropriate SSTs. Findings from this study highlight the significant opportunity to further explore how the properties of music and dance can be integrated into the design of new SSTs. Literature suggests dance could be a beneficial exercise format for many people and self-service technology abounds for exercise but is often not used consistently. Our interviews asked participants about dance-based exercise and SSTs for exercise and showed that there is an opportunity to design SSTs to help people access dance-based exercise. SSTs should help people learn dance, build confidence, and dance alone or with others. SSTs could facilitate movement and increase engagement with physical activity whilst addressing issues around logistics, confidence and dance knowledge and experience.
