智能手机的进步和社交网络系统的广泛使用为开发创新干预措施以促进体育活动提供了机会。为此，我们开发了一个有说服力的社交移动健康应用程序，旨在监测和激励用户每天多走路。该项目的目标是重点审查用于促进身体活动的移动健康的基本特征，开发符合这些特征的移动健康应用程序，并进行可行性研究以将该应用程序部署到日常生活中。该项目最初是一项分析研究，旨在审查用于监测和促进身体活动的技术的基本特征。然后是应用程序的技术开发。接下来，进行了为期4周的部署，参与者将该应用程序作为日常生活的一部分。一个有声思维的方法和深入的半结构化访谈进行部署后。采用定性描述方法对访谈进行主题分析。可行性的措施包括，坚持程序，用户系统的互动，使用的动机，并与身体活动和在线社交互动的经验。确定了身体活动监测和促进的七个基本特征，然后将其用作开发应用程序的基础。共有14名参与者参加了应用程序评估。年龄范围为24 - 45岁;体重指数范围为18.5 - 42.98，其中4例受试者属于“肥胖”类别。其中一半人对智能手机有经验，所有人都熟悉社交网络系统。共有13名参与者完成了研究; 1名被排除在外。总体而言，参与者对几乎所有的可用性因素都给出了高分，平均分为4.52分，最高分为5.00分。在29天的时间里，参与者使用该应用程序的总时间为119，380分钟（平均值=7.57小时/天/参与者; SD 1.56）。基于基本特征，成功开发了应用程序。可用性结果表明，该系统是可用的，用户满意度很高。部署应用程序被证明是可行的，以促进日常体力活动。
Advances in smartphones and the wide usage of social networking systems offer opportunities for the development of innovative interventions to promote physical activity. To that end, we developed a persuasive and social mHealth application designed to monitor and motivate users to walk more every day. The objectives of this project were to conduct a focused review on the fundamental characteristics of mHealth for physical activity promotion, to develop an mHealth application that meets such characteristics, and to conduct a feasibility study to deploy the application in everyday life. This project started as an analytical study to review the fundamental characteristics of the technologies used in physical activity monitoring and promotion. Then, it was followed by a technical development of the application. Next, a 4 week deployment was conducted where participants used the application as part of their daily life. A think-aloud method and in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted following the deployment. A qualitative description method was used to thematically analyze the interviews. Feasibility measures included, adherence to the program, user-system interactions, motivation to use, and experience with physical activity and online social interactions. There were seven fundamental characteristics of physical activity monitoring and promotion that were identified, which were then used as a foundation to develop the application. There were fourteen participants that enrolled in the application evaluation. The age range was from 24 to 45; body mass index ranged from 18.5 to 42.98, with 4 of the subjects falling into the category “obese”. Half of them were experienced with smartphones, and all were familiar with a social network system. There were thirteen participants that completed the study; one was excluded. Overall, participants gave high scores to almost all of the usability factors examined, with averages of 4.52 out of a 5.00 maximum. Over 29 days, participants used the application for a total of 119,380 minutes (average=7.57 hours/day/participant; SD 1.56). Based on the fundamental characteristics, the application was successfully developed. The usability results suggest that the system is usable and user satisfaction was high. Deploying the application was shown to be feasible for the promotion of daily physical activity.
