Mind Your Step is one of Lifelines' additional assessments.
This assessment was a collaboration between Lifelines and the Hanze University of Applied sciences, Research group Healthy Ageing.
The goal of the assessment was to gain insight in determinants related to the adoption of quantified self-devices and potentially behavior change/ change in body weight. The digital weight scale and activity tracker were connected to a smartphone application, in which the user could see his or her own data. The participants participated in the study for a year. All participants filled out two questionnaires with regard to different determinants (like self-regulation) and motivation towards self-tracking. In addition, they were asked to fill out an evaluation questionnaire about the usage and experience with the devices.

Participants in the age 25-65 were invited to use a digital weight scale and a activity tracker. They also have been asked to complete several questionnaires.

The digital weight scale and activity tracker were used between April 2016 and April 2017. In this period the participant also filled out 3 questionnaires.

There was a restriction on number of participants because there were 100 activity trackers available.
