Abstract

This paper presents StandFit a mobile application aimed at encouraging people to lead non-sedentary lifestyles at the workplace, through simple exercises that can be executed during breaks. Results from a 3-week field evaluation demonstrated that adoption was encouraged by the users’ perception of the app as having positive impact on their health. Issues related to the intrusiveness of the notifications sent by the application to the users turned out to influence adoption. The need to support user personalization of the app was found, as well as the need for a more pervasive deployment of these persuasive interventions beyond work settings.
