“…Both were dynamically generated. The textual part of the feedback followed a macro-structure that guided the message composition (similar to Erriquez and Grasso 2008). For example, a message usually started with a statement about the individual/family performance; then, it reminded the family about the goal to be attained; finally, it finished with an encouragement.…”

It is widely acknowledged that obesity is a serious health issue. Despite governments' campaigns and initiatives to raise the level of awareness, the proportion of adults classified as overweight or obese is increasing steadily. As a result, there has been a growing interest in Human Computer Interaction and User Modelling to study how to support health behaviour change. While most of the work to date has focused on individuals, medical research has shown that family engagement plays an important role on health behaviour. To consider the family context, we are developing technology that facilitates health discussions and encourages supportive behaviour within the family. We investigate how to motivate members of a family to reflect upon their lifestyle and think of ways in which they can make it healthier. In particular, we have looked at whether providing explicit goals and tailored feedback can have an impact. During a two week trial with families in which we explored these strategies, we found that setting a collective goal for the family influenced how much the family as a whole contributed, and that feedback increased significantly mothers' participation. Our results also suggest that establishing a family goal encouraged families to work together and, in particular, to help each other find ways to be healthier. Finally, 76% of participants reported discussing the task with someone in their family, and, also discussing it together as a family (57%).

“…In the example message, the content is the fact that the user has not been active enough, a factual statement about the advantages of physical activity, and the suggestion to walk or perform vigorous exercise. The content of messages is the primary topic in the related literature discussed in Section 2, and the framework as presented in [7] deals also exclusively with the content of messages.…”

“…Erriquez and Grasso [7] propose an ontology-based approach for generating personalized messages that are sent to the user's mobile phone throughout the day.

“…suggesting outside activities in case of nice weather (context). The starting point of the ontology in [7] is a decomposition of messages into five components: (1) a comment to provide feedback on performance, (2) an argument to convey that physical activity is good for the user, (3) an aid to introspection relating performance with the user's diary values, (4) a suggestion on how to improve performance, and (5) an encouragement to conclude the message. Starting with these 5 ontological classes the discourse ontology is created.…”

“…Such reminders have already shown to be effective in patients suffering from Chronic Low Back Pain [5] or COPD 1 [6]. However, there is a need identified in these studies as well as in related research [7,8] to provide a more sophisticated and tailored delivery of messages. This requirement of producing tailored support messages is not limited to the area of physical activity promotion, but in fact can be seen in many behavior change support systems.…”

This paper presents a comprehensive and practical framework for automatic generation of real-time tailored messages in behavior change applications. Basic aspects of motivational messages are time, intention, content and presentation. Tailoring of messages to the individual user may involve all aspects of communication. A linear modular system is presented for generating such messages. It is explained how properties of user and context are taken into account in each of the modules of the system and how they affect the linguistic presentation of the generated messages. The model of motivational messages presented is based on an analysis of existing literature as well as the analysis of a corpus of motivational messages used in previous studies. The model extends existing 'ontology-based' approaches to message generation for real-time coaching systems found in the literature. Practical examples are given on how simple tailoring rules can be implemented throughout the various stages of the framework. Such examples can guide further research by clarifying what it means to use e.g. user targeting to tailor a message. As primary example we look at the issue of promoting daily physical activity. Future work is pointed out in applying the present model and framework, defining efficient ways of evaluating individual tailoring components, and improving effectiveness through the creation of accurate and complete user- and context models.
