Using Internet of Things to Reduce Office Workers' Sedentary Behavior: Intervention Development Applying the Behavior Change Wheel and Human-Centered Design Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with various adverse health outcomes. The prevalence of prolonged sitting at work among office workers makes a case for SB interventions to target this setting and population. Everyday mundane objects with embedded microelectronics and ubiquitous computing represent a novel mode of delivering health behavior change interventions enabled by internet of things (IoTs). However, little is known about how to develop interventions involving IoT technologies.

Objective

This paper reports the design and development of an IoT-enabled SB intervention targeting office workers.

Methods

The process was guided by the behavior change wheel (BCW), a systematic framework for theory-informed and evidence-based development of behavior cha
