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