Abstract Synopsis

  • The study reviews digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) that help people maintain physical activity through habit formation techniques.
  • A systematic search of four databases from 2012 to 2022 identified 41 relevant studies, revealing that self-monitoring, goal setting, and prompts are the most commonly used behavior change techniques.
  • The review categorizes 32 design strategies for habit formation into target-mediated and technology-mediated interactions, showing a prevalence of explicit strategies while highlighting a gap in implicit design methods.
