Abstract

Obesity and insufficient physical activity represent ongoing pandemics. These cases describe the design process of two different electronic and mobile health interventions in the areas of behavioral weight loss and physical activity promotion. An interdisciplinary team of experts followed several guidelines of an established intervention framework to ensure the interventions were addressing significant research gaps and grounded in theory and empirical evidence. Intervention strategies were guided by the intervention mapping taxonomy of behavior change methods and integrated both custom-built and commercially available technologies. These cases detail how the chosen theories, methods, and intervention strategies were connected. Challenges and opportunities in relation to both the interventions and the fields of technology-based behavioral weight loss and physical activity more broadly are also discussed.
