在过去的十年里，全世界成年人和青少年的肥胖率出现了令人震惊的增长。肥胖被发现会增加患糖尿病、心血管疾病和某些癌症的风险。由于与肥胖相关的许多健康风险，患病率的增加也给卫生保健系统和个人财务带来了压力。我们的研究建议通过激励青少年开始或继续进行体育锻炼来降低成年人的肥胖率，以便他们能够在成年后继续这些健康的生活方式。我们的目标是通过引入在移动设备上运行的激励性应用程序来鼓励长期采用身体活动行为。我们使用技术接受模型、计划行为理论、意义行为理论和五大人格理论来指导我们的设计。
Throughout the last decade, there has been an alarming increase in obesity prevalence among adults and teens throughout the world. Obesity has been found to increase the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers. Due to the many health risks associated with obesity, an increase in prevalence has also pressured health care systems and the finances of the individual. Our research proposes to decrease obesity prevalence in adults by motivating teens to become or continue being physically active so that they can continue these healthy lifestyles as adults. Our goal is to encourage long term adoption of physically active behaviors by introducing a motivating application running on a mobile device. We use the Technology Acceptance Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Theory of Meaning Behavior, and the Big 5 Personality Theory to guide our design.
