Abstract

<p>Many people want to change their behavior to improve their health, lose weight, quit smoking, etc., but they usually cannot do that contrary to what they want. In study, work, and other social activities, there are many people who wish to transform themselves related to their mental state, such as to become more sociable or active, or to escape from sadness. Wearable devices are powerful weapons in recognizing, recording, and encouraging transformation of such people's behaviors and lifestyles. Here, wearable devices mean smart watches, smart glasses, hearables, and other information devices worn on the body. Compared to conventional desktop and mobile information devices, they can be used by users at all times, enabling new uses in work and daily life. In this paper, we discuss how these wearable devices can be effectively used to promote behavioral change in people, including recent wearable trends.</p>
