One stApp for a better health.

The objective of this project is to reduce sedentary behavior among adults, in the home environment. Sedentary behavior is defined as prolonged sitting (over 30 minutes), with damaging consequences for ones personal health. By means of an application on a smartphone and associated sensors, we will measure the sedentary level of the user, and inform him or her. The smartphone application will provide a rich user experience, and based on self-determination theory, stimulate him or her to stop sitting.
