DESCRIPTION:Software applications for improving the health and wellbeing of
  people\n\nThis talk consists of two parts. In the first part\, I will pre
 sent InMyDay\, a digital diary specifically designed and implemented for o
 lder users. The goal of this diary was twofold: first\, we research whethe
 r older users are able to record their daily activities and reflect on the
 ir emotions using a digital diary. Then\, using the results of this first 
 phase\, we implemented three input styles for the second version of the di
 gital diary: voice\, stylus\, and keyboard. Overall\, 23 older users parti
 cipated in evaluations aimed at improving the design of the diary and unde
 rstanding their input style preferences. We found that the older adults in
  our study used the diary to reflect on their emotions\, registering posit
 ive as well as negative emotions. We also found that providing a variety o
 f input styles helped the participants to select the option most suited to
  their particular needs and preferences.\n\n \n\nIn the second part\, I wi
 ll present Evitapp\, a mobile persuasive application designed to promote p
 hysical activity and smoking cessation. The application does not use addit
 ional tracking devices\, relying instead on phone sensors to track physica
 l activity\, and on users to log their behavior. Nineteen adults tested th
 e application over 10 days. Participants found the application easy to use
  and used it approximately once per day. Even though habits did not change
  significantly over the course of the experiment\, those who used the smok
 ing cessation application reported a decrease in consumption.\n\n \n
