“Persuasive systems design for health”

Dr. Harri Oinas-Kukkonen

Abstract:

A conceptual framework for designing, evaluating and researching persuasive systems is known as the Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) model [1, 2]. The PSD model defines key design principles for designing full-fledged Behavior Change Support Systems [3-6] or somewhat lighter applications that nudge people [cf. 7]. Especially fostering health and promoting sustainable/green behaviors benefit from these approaches. As deep understanding of user behaviors already has become a key asset for successful design in our contemporary IT environments [8], we claim that understanding behavior change and persuasive systems design will become a key asset for advancing most types of applications future business and economy.
