“…Asides from being healthy and fit, wearable device used and being integrated with OSFNs is projected to increase health motivation such as steps, chalories, heartbeats & sleep quality monitoring (El-Gayar, Nasralah & Elnoshokaty, 2019). Other benefit of using wearable device is the technology it enables for elders to keep track of their bodily health and to stay active and healthy (Walden & Sell, 2017). Nevertheless, users who wear the device too frequent would trigger worries, depression, and obsessivecompulsive behavior (Wu, Sum & Nathan-Roberts, 2016) making the health metric data displayed be relativized, ignored, or the smartwatch no longer be used (Chen, Zdorova & Nathan-Roberts, 2017;Ledger & McCaffrey, 2014).…”

A current study shows the strategy used to build a healthy individual self-presentation by performing cycling on Instagram platform during the Covid-19 pandemic. A positive self-image shown on Instagram account is commonly perceived as a communication pattern in digital social interaction. Given the pandemic situation, cycling as a healthy lifestyle has fast become the most common strategy used by Instagram users to achieve positive self-presentation, by integrating cycling activities data aggregated from Online Social Fitness Networks (OSFNs) platform. This study uses a qualitative method with constructivism paradigm and case study approach. Data collection is conducted through observations and interviews with four informants. Observation is acquired by collecting a series of Instagram feeds and stories of the informants for the past six months of the pandemic. Interviews are conducted to explore both the informants’ strategies and motivations to present the data in their respective Instagram accounts. The result contends that the “full package” strategy is the preferable choice for informants’ self-presentation on Instagram by selecting various locations of background photos and the symbols which confirm their social status, by inserting popular hashtags, by providing links to associate with Instagram glamorous urban cyclists’ lifestyle content, and by showing off cycling data from OSFNs platform.

“…One potential way to achieve this are different types of digital wellness technologies, such as smartphone and smartwatch applications, which have been found very promising in terms of promoting the levels of physical activity not only among young but also among elderly people (e.g., Changizi & Kaveh, 2017;Muellmann et al, 2018;Elavsky, Knapova, Klocek & Smahel, 2019;Stockwell et al, 2019;Yerrakalva, Yerrakalva, Hajna & Griffin, 2019), although more high-quality studies especially on their longterm effects are still called for. In addition to elderly people in general, their potential has also been highlighted in the more specific segment of young elderly, which consists of people aged approximately 60-75 years (e.g., Carlsson & Walden, 2015Walden & Sell, 2017;.…”

Content in digital services is often filtered for users based on individual preferences with the possible consequence of creating a state referred to as a “filter bubble”. The objective of this paper is to examine which of a user’s inherent needs that are important to satisfy when a user is consuming personalized content in a digital service. The paper uses a survey to measure the need for autonomy, competence and relatedness of the SelfDetermination Theory when users are consuming filtered content in digital services. The results show that the investigated services fail to satisfy all needs. A satisfactory user experience should include the opportunity for the user to satisfy the need for autonomy, competence and relatedness. For autonomy, transparency of filtering and choice about filtering should be offered. For competence, it is essential to offer content that the user can learn from, and also provide the right amount of choice throughout the service. The danger of filter bubbles is not personalization, but to remove choice about personalization.

“…Wearable technologies have exclusive benefits within health and wellness (e.g. Using wearables could be a means to assist the young elderly to stay active longer and remain healthy) [10]. Wearable devices and fitness tracking services have become more present, however still suffer from high abandonment rates [11].…”

Wearable devices are increasingly recognized for their potential to improve health and wellbeing. However, challenges remain for wide-scale adoption and use. This paper explores perception and reactions towards wearable devices with a particular emphasis on factors that influence the adoption and use to improve health and well-being and which can also inform their design as components of a behavioral change system. We use social media analytics to analyze and categorize tweets related to major manufacturers of consumer wearable devices from June 1, 2017-May 31, 2018. We used extant literature on the design of persuasive systems to inform the definition of pertinent categories. The findings confirmed the relevance of persuasive design features such as Dialog, credibility, and social support, though to various degrees. The analysis sheds light on other user priorities pertaining to device characteristics, integration with other systems, issues surrounding actually wearing these devices on a regular basis.
