摘要
Stair climbing is a physical activity that can easily be performed in daily life and has a positive influence on, amongst others, cardiovascular health and the prevention of frailty. Health interventions have shown to be effective in motivating stair climbing in public spaces, but have so far mostly relied on analogue means such as banners or posters. We investigate the role of technology to promote stair climbing in public spaces. We designed the ActiStairs system, a simple and practical system to be used in real-life circumstances. To understand acceptance we observed the users' reaction on the system in a public shopping mall. Based on our findings we suggest implications for future technology for the promotion of stair climbing in public spaces.
