Title
Fulfilling the potential of consumer connected fitness technologies: Towards framing systems engineering involvement in user experience design
Abstract
As evidenced by their proliferation in the consumer marketplace, the transformative potential of connected fitness technologies (e.g. fitness and activity tracking technologies such as Fitbit) to enable health behavioral change is great. However, the value of these technologies in certain contexts of health behavioral change is currently under scrutiny. User experience design is an identified factor in realizing their potential; and there is a need for more active involvement by systems engineers to facilitate efforts. Leveraging an exemplar set of user experience heuristics, a research roadmap is offered in support of this work, elucidating systems engineering knowledge gaps within this context. Discussion is also had in putting the offered roadmap in action.
