Health Behavior Change in HCI: Trends, Patterns, and Opportunities
Unhealthy lifestyles could cause many chronic diseases, which bring patients
and their families much burden. Research has shown the potential of digital
technologies for supporting health behavior change to help us prevent these
chronic diseases. The HCI community has contributed to the research on health
behavior change for more than a decade. In this paper, we aim to explore the
research trends and patterns of health behavior change in HCI. Our systematic
review showed that physical activity drew much more attention than other
behaviors. Most of the participants in the reviewed studies were adults, while
children and the elderly were much less addressed. Also, we found there is a
lack of standardized approaches to evaluating the user experience of
interventions for health behavior change in HCI. Based on the reviewed studies,
we provide suggestions and research opportunities on six topics, e.g., game
integration, social support, and relevant AI application
