Tangible interventions for office work well-being: approaches, classification, and design considerations

Toward the design of persuasive systems for a healthy workplace: a real-time posture detection

“…It is important to note that this approach may require privacy permissions. The importance of aligning such feedback with users' privacy expectations, both in private and social spaces, has been emphasized in the study by Brombacher et al ( 2023 ). Additionally, a study by Bootsman et al ( 2019 ) was limited to reading lumbar (back) posture data, overlooking other key postures that directly impact the back, as we have reported (eyes, head, neck, and arms).…”

“…Research has explored persuasive technologies in relation to best workplace practices. This includes taking regular breaks (Jafarinaimi et al, 2005 ; Ludden and Meekhof, 2016 ; Ren et al, 2019 ), fitness apps (Mohadis et al, 2016 ; Ahtinen et al, 2017 ; Paay et al, 2022 ), feedback systems and wearable devices (Bootsman et al, 2019 ; Jiang et al, 2021 ), workstation movement (Min et al, 2015 ; Damen et al, 2020a , b ), chair, desk, and monitor height adjustments (Kronenberg and Kuflik, 2019 ; Kronenberg et al, 2022 ), posture correction (Min et al, 2015 ; Bootsman et al, 2019 ; Kim M. T. et al, 2019 ), mouse/keyboard use and reduction of glare and reflection (Bailly et al, 2016 ), and other healthy work behaviors (Berque et al, 2011 ; Mateevitsi et al, 2014 ; Gomez-Carmona and Casado-Mansilla, 2017 ; Jiang et al, 2021 ; Brombacher et al, 2023 ; Haliburton et al, 2023 ; Robledo Yamamoto et al, 2023 ).…”

“…To enhance usability, additional concepts may be implemented, such as helping users locate body positions through a screen reader. Feedback systems, as reported in the study by Brombacher et al (2023), have been recognized as effective in capturing users' attention, especially when working behind a desk and receiving posture-related feedback.…”
