Online social networks for health behaviour change: Designing to increase socialization

作者:

Highlights:

• We designed an online social network, VivoSpace, for health behaviour change from a theoretical foundation.

• We evaluated the ability for VivoSpace to change determinants from the reviewed theories.

• We found that socially-based determinants were not met in the design.

• Through follow-up focus groups, we found several design strategies that can promote more socialization.
