Five strategies for supporting healthy behavior change

Published:07 May 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

There is an ongoing search for theoretical foundations and design principles for interactive systems that support healthy behavior change. In this work-in-progress, we present several behavior change strategies that are currently used in effective health self-management interventions. We then discuss how these strategies can be used in applications that support behavior change in the healthwellness domain.
