Promoting Positive Employee Health Behavior with Mobile Technology Design

چکیده
In this paper, we present an augmented mobile technology that can enhance the positive health behavior of employees, as well as companies’ social welfare.

We draw on two social behavior theories for our technology design and also introduce a conceptual model that provides a “step-by-step” approach to enhance employees’ health and improve social welfare.
