Abstract

The use of online technologies for supporting participants of behaviour
change and diet program is a timely and important research direction. We present
HealthierU, adaptive online portal offering a suite of interactive support tools. The
portal was evaluated in a 24-week study, which shows that regular reminders
trigger increased interaction with the portal. We also analyse interaction patters
conducive to weight loss and discuss possible factors of the attrition rates observed
in the study.
