The lifestyle that people adopt directly influences their health and wellbeing. In recent years, there have been calls to action regarding the global burden of lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases (such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease). There is an opening for design solutions that allow people to manage and/or change their lifestyles, and address their health conditions. Persuasive technology has the potential to be in the forefront of novel health related prevention services, applications and products. The objective of this study is to investigate consumers’ perceptions of Virtual Health Check and Coaching, which is a non-clinical web- and mobile-based system for personal lifestyle and health management. Specifically, we examine the consumers’ insights through a persuasive systems design lens. Implications for persuasive design are discussed. |
