Technology holds great potential in offering new interventions to reach a wider range of individuals faster and in a more cost-effective manner. It further allows to reach to individuals who are either in under-serviced areas/demographics or who might otherwise shun from reaching out (e.g., due to fear of social stigma). Consequently, the use of persuasive technology and nudging technologies are attracting an increasing amount of interest both in research as well as in industry. In this present workshop, the focus is on applying digital nudging strategies and persuasive techniques to engage people and thereby increase their level of competency and self-efficacy. Therefore, the expected outcome in using digital nudging and persuasion is to achieve a more sustainable behavioral change for individuals.
