Abstract

Mobile and ubiquitous systems designed to promote an increase in physical activity by harnessing social influence have so far had variable success. Taking a cardiac rehabilitation program as a specific health domain, in which physical inactivity is one of several targeted behaviours, the research described in this paper aims to elicit understanding of peer-involvement in health-related behavioural change and explore the potential for effective technological support. This paper introduces the technology probe Collabohab and discusses the accompanying methodological approach being adopted to establish insight into the important but so far little understood phenomenon of social support within health-related behavioural change.
