Abstract

Social relationships and family involvement play an important role in health management, whereas activity awareness is useful in decision-making and stimulating motivation and action. In this paper, we propose a novel activity awareness user interface for family-oriented healthy living social networks. It is intended to increase family members' interaction with healthy living social networks. A user study showed that the activity awareness interface can add value to specific aspects of interaction with family-based healthy living social applications. The interface increased interaction with the underlying healthy living content and led to higher level of learning about healthy living and impact on specific healthy living activities. There was also significant appreciation of and interaction with the activity awareness user interface elements.
