Persuasive technology in mobile applications can be used to influence the behaviour of users. A framework known as the Persuasive Systems Design model has been developed for designing and evaluating systems that influence the attitudes or behaviours of users. This paper reviews the current state of mobile applications for health behavioural change with an emphasis on applications that promote physical activity. The inbuilt persuasive features of mobile applications were evaluated using the Persuasive Systems Design model. A database search was conducted to identify relevant articles. Articles were then reviewed using the Persuasive Systems Design model as a framework for analysis. Primary task support, dialogue support, and social support were found to be moderately represented in the selected articles. However, system credibility support was found to have only low levels of representation as a persuasive systems design feature in mobile applications for supporting physical activity. To ensure that available mobile technology resources are best used to improve the wellbeing of people, it is important that the design principles that influence the effectiveness of persuasive technology be understood.

“…Persuasive Technology (PT) is a promising approach to tackle obesity by motivating healthy behavior change using technologies. Several frameworks exist for designing and evaluating PT interventions [3]; however, these frameworks assume a one-sizefits-all approach, providing little or no information on how these strategies can be tailored to various user groups. The realization that the one-size-fits-all approach may not be sufficient for motivating healthy behavioral change has led to a growing interest in ways of tailoring interventions to various user groups and individual users.…”

Abstract. The onset of many health conditions, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, can be prevented or at least delayed by adequate changes in diet. Various determinants of healthy eating -such as Weight Concern, Nutrition Knowledge, Concern for Disease, Social Influence, and Food Choice Motivehave been manipulated by persuasive technologies to motivate healthy eating behavior. However, the relative importance and the dynamic of interaction between the determinants of healthy behavior for males and females are still unknown. Understanding how the determinants vary across user groups is important, as it will help persuasive technology designers personalize their interventions to the target demographics, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the intervention. To investigate for possible variations in healthy eating determinants, we developed separate models of healthy eating determinants for males and females. The models, which are based on a quantitative study of 228 (124 males and 104 females) participants, reveal some similarities and differences in the interactions between the determinants of healthy eating behavior. Based on the result from our models, we highlight some genderinclusive and gender-specific approaches to persuasive intervention design.

“…According to Jameson (2012), partially related literature in the field of HCI can be found in the areas of usability guidelines, which are meant to help users make the right choices when using an interactive system, recommender systems, which support users' preferential choices about items to consume, e.g., products to buy (Adomavicius and Tuzhilin, 2005), and persuasive technologies, i.e., interactive technologies which aim at influencing users'decisions, in terms of preferences and behaviours, in a veriety of domains (Fogg, 2003;Oinas-Kukkonen & Harjumaa, 2008). Jameson introduced the idea of "user as chooser" (Jameson et al, 2011) with the aim of defining choices and decisions with respect to computer systems in a practical way.…”
