Exploring users' creation of personalized behavioral plans

Published: 13 September 2014 Publication History

Abstract

As an initial effort in developing tools that support users' creation of their own behavior-change plans, we conducted a formative user study. We intended to explore people's creation of plans for their own behavioral goals, with minimal support to facilitate their goal-setting, implementation of behavior-change techniques, and self-monitoring. In this paper, we present lessons that we obtained from this initial study, and insights on shifts in our design tools for a follow-up formative study currently underway.
