4. Why
• Interviews and talks learned us that people have to be
confronted with a serious happening before they think
about their life. Something happens and then there is the
reflection
• BUT change is not easy, unless you have to. And even then.
• My shock, Graves disease at severe stadium. If I would have
monitored myself, I would have known things were
changing rapidly – raging heart, very irritated, losing kilo’s,
tremor, moods, etc... (2000)
• Changed my whole lifestyle, upside down, that took years.
The recovery, the process, until the feel good moment.
Why? - because this was not meant to happen twice.
5. Thoughts
• Self-tracking takes time (current behavior
towards goals)
• Short term tracking versus long term tracking
• Instant gratification versus longer term
thinking
• Perception and the data
• Find people who don’t think you show weird
behavior – social acceptance.

19. Model for understanding
persuasive side of devices and
software application
Fogg, 2008
Simplicity factors depending on
person and context to create more
ability, the more ability the more
motivation
- Time (planning, time available)
- Money
- Braincycles (cognitive effort)
- Physical effort (planning of
physical activity)
- Social acceptance/out of the
ordinary
- Non-Routine
20. Research set up
When? 7 month study (2012-13)
Who? Non-early adoptors of selftracking with BodyMedia device
Experimental group (N= 10) and Control group (N= 7)
US – San Francisco and Belgium – Ghent area
Research question
Is 24/7 self-monitoring creating enough awareness and persuasion to get a balanced lifestyle?
Will self-monitoring affect general wellbeing among self-monitored people?
Phase Fall ‘12: 3 core motivators:
sensation: pleasure, ‘new’, ‘curiosity’
anticipation: hope, trigger to chage something
social cohesion: being part of a cool thing, group feeling
Phase Winter ‘12-’13
8 out of 10 experimenters
stop selftracking
device created dependencies:
without device =
Back to old routines, less awareness
Phase Spring ‘ 13
3 core motivators turn into negative behavior with some
participants:
Sensation: ‘new’ & ‘curiosity’ gone
Anticipation: confrontation with data
Social cohesion: rejection, outside world reactions
Ability factors/Context factors:
Device:
Fall: feels comfortable, identifies with it, but first signs of ‘Out of the ordinary’
Spring: doing good = takes time, less comfort in long time wearing, outsiders remarks ‘Out of the ordinary’
Behavior:
Fall: small changes creating routines instructed, brain cycles (cognitive investment) made
Spring: due to stop, routine not estasblished, lack of maintenance in habit forming and cognitive effort
Culture and season:
Culture: SF vibrant city, nature aspects, attractive to be active. BE city vs rural area, latter more attractive
Season: SF weather is a trigger to go outside. BE seasonal effect, weather dependency high, less activity
