The Sisyphean Challenges of
achieving and maintaining health

3. Sisyphus
had to push a rock up a hill
he had to work alone
every day it rolled down as he neared the top

4. Sisyphean tasks are done repeatedly
to achieve important lifelong goals
Often without apparent “progress”

5. Could it be that
Sisyphus had trouble
detecting his
progress?

6. Achieve healthy activity levels
• Help me know when I am:
– Achieving my goals eg
• 30 mins moderate activity a day,
• avoiding sustained inactivity
– Or not
• Help me find:
– “Stuff I’ve Seen” about exercise and activity
– new things I can do
– Be inspired to do them
• Help me to:
–
–
–
–
make a plan
Remember to do things I planned to do
monitor my performance
Revise my plans
• Share parts of my personal health data with:
– a health professionals
– a friend/buddy with similar goals
– Community of interest

User model as bridge to goals
Novel interfaces to our personal digital ecosystems
User model
Personal Data Mining, Shared Data, Meaning Making
Interfaces across devices, for user control, for metacognition
