There is no healthcare system in the world that has the capacity or resources to provide every person in need of help and support of changing lifestyle behaviors. Consequently, there is a need to design health information systems that enable individuals to manage their health and maintain a healthier lifestyle. However, there is limited knowledge about how individuals perceive these behavior change support systems and how individuals’ perceptions affect the use of such systems. In the present study, we tested a persuasive systems design model that had a significant impact on perceived persuasiveness and system usage. Also, there appears to be some local gender differences in the strength of the relationships between factors (perceived persuasiveness and intention, and unobtrusiveness and intention). We discuss future developments of the model and health as a social and personal responsibility.
