Abstract
Advances in technology have made humans more productive at work but often at the cost of wellbeing, with issues like sedentary behavior, social isolation, and excessive screen time affecting modern knowledge workers. Despite efforts to introduce healthy interventions, such as standing desks, uptake remains low due to the intention-behavior gap. This thesis explores ways to design technology that encourages healthy behaviors, using passive and active behavior change methods to motivate users, and proposes a design framework for ethical behavior change technologies that promote a healthier, more productive workplace. (Shortened).
