RecApp
January 2022 - Juli 2022
Master project
In collaboration with studentteam VIRTUe & Bureau Moeilijke Dingen
Coach: Carine Lallemand
The stakes and complexity of climate change management bring ever growing concerns and call for action. Many people see it as a distant and intangible topic in which individual actions may seem powerless. RecApp is a mobile application to build intrinsic motivation towards a sustainable lifestyle. In contrast to current solutions, RecApp gives personalized content based on the user’s interests, current beliefs and actions. Small weekly challenges are proposed to slowly build new habits and routines. RecApp also connects to physical devices in the home to stimulate and encourage the users, at the right spot at the right time. The evaluation of the initial questionnaire and the final design show potential in using the Transtheoretical Model as a leading theory for a mobile application to promote a sustainable lifestyle.
