Wearable devices make self-monitoring easier by the users, who usually tend to increase physical activity and weight loss maintenance over time. But in terms of behavior adaptation to these goals, these devices do not provide specific features beyond monitoring the achievement of daily goals, such as a number of steps or miles walked, and caloric outtake. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the recommendations provided by traditional fitness tracker apps with respect to weight loss scenarios.

Abstract
Wearable devices make self-monitoring easier by the users, who usually tend to increase physical activity and weight loss maintenance over time. But in terms of behavior adaptation to these goals, these devices do not provide specific features beyond monitoring the achievement of daily goals, such as a number of steps or miles walked, and caloric outtake. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the recommendations provided by traditional fitness tracker apps with respect to weight loss scenarios.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
