Abstract

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a context-aware recommendation system that promotes the adoption of a healthy and active lifestyle. A Smartphone application that provides personalized and contextualized advice based on geo information, weather, user location and agenda was developed and evaluated by a user study. The results show the potential of this mobile application in triggering behavior change by suggesting simple daily activities.
