Abstract
Can ubiquitous technologies intended to change people’s behavior benefit from personalization? This paper addresses the development of an adaptive persuasive system intended to increase stair climbing at work: APStairs. Based on their persuasion profile, individuals are distinguished by their susceptibility to different social influence strategies. This paper contributes a first application of persuasion profiling in the domain of ambient intelligence; it reports the deployment of the APStairs system in a real life setting for a period of five weeks involving 34 participants. Although a longer deployment period is needed to statistically validate the system, this first deployment of the system has shown the feasibility of adaptive persuasion.
