Outline of Final Research Achievements

Some health management business using computerized equipment such as a pedometer and a scale becomes popular recently. These service is called PHR, personal health recording. In current PHR system, user needs to keep motivation for recording these data by themselves. In this research, we employ gameficatoin to afford an incentive for recoding the data.
In last two years, we have focused on walking event as health recoding activity. We developed automatic step counting server client system using smartphone, and participants tried to work more than 10km every ten days. As a result, we confirmed 90% participant could achieve the goal, and one third of the participant have kept daily walking activity after the event.
