IoT-Enabled Health Promotion

Abstract

This paper makes the case for combining IoT technologies and persuasive interventions, such as behavioral insights, to bring about healthy behavior change. Approaches like Gamification, Aggregation and Personalization can applied and combined in the IoT context to help change and reinforce desired behaviors. Two examples from the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore will be shared to illustrate how this can be done, at local and national levels.
