Practical Measures for a Sustainable Lifestyle Change

A central concern of behavior change is the identification of practical behavior change techniques from the fields of nutrition, exercise, and health, which contribute to the maintenance of a sustainable lifestyle. To determine these, three sub-studies were conducted: firstly, qualitative, guideline-based interviews with experts from the health sector, and secondly, interviews with those affected themselves. Thirdly, based on the interviews, prototypes for concrete, practical measures for sustainable lifestyle change were developed in a Design Thinking workshop with representatives from the health ecosystem. These include “goal setting and monitoring”, “reward”, “challenge sprints”, “sponsor system”, and “emergency button” and serve as the basis for the later impact study.
