Area of Science:

Digital Health
Behavioral Science
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Sedentary behavior is a major public health concern.
Wearable technology offers potential for personalized health interventions.
Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) show promise in behavior modification.

Purpose of the Study:

To improve nudge outcome classification accuracy in a personalized nudging framework.
To reduce sedentary behavior using wearable sensor data and JITAIs.
To enhance the effectiveness of adaptive behavioral prompts.

Main Methods:

A free-living observational study at the University of Delaware (Spring 2021-Fall 2022).
18 participants used a custom smartwatch application collecting motion, physiological, and contextual data.
A decision-tree model was trained using sitting/walking bouts with contextual features and prior intervention outcomes.

Main Results:

Nudge outcome classification accuracy improved from 0.42 to 0.78 for sitting bouts.
A walking-nudge model achieved 0.70 accuracy.
Nudged walking bouts were longer, covered greater distances, and had higher speeds.

Conclusions:

Context-aware adaptive nudging enhances the timing and effectiveness of wearable interventions.
Personalized interventions are enabled by incorporating contextual and historical features.
Wearable adaptive interventions provide a scalable strategy to reduce sedentary behavior.
