Using Behavioural Economics for More Sustainable Physical Activity mHealth Incentives: the Caterpillar App
2023年3月6日 更新者：Marc Mitchell、Western University, Canada
Applying Behavioural Economics for More Sustainable Physical Activity Incentives: A 12-week Pilot Feasibility Trial of the Caterpillar App in Leeds, UK
This 12-week study aims to test a sustainable incentive-based physical activity app program that may lower the size of incentive needed to stimulate physical activity and drive incentive costs down.
Following the 5-day starting assessment (baseline) period, participants will be able to earn incentives in the form of loyalty points when they reach their daily step goals set by the Caterpillar app.
Over the course of the 12-week study period, users will be rewarded for reaching their step goals through three different incentive programs in 30 day intervals: Month 1 (users will earn daily rewards of 3¢ per day upon achieving personalized daily step goal); Month 2 (users will earn weekly rewards (25¢ per week goal met 5+ times); Month 3 (users will earn team-based rewards (35¢ per week if 10+ goals are reached collaboratively with another user).

实验性的：Financial Health Incentives
fter registration on the Caterpillar App, participants will be instructed to 'carry their phone' as much as possible during a 5-day baseline period to assess their daily step counts.
In Month 1, participants will earn daily rewards (3¢ per day personalized daily step goal met; BE "present bias").
In Month 2, users will earn weekly rewards (25¢ per week goal met 5+ times; BE "fresh start").
In Month 3, users will earn team-based rewards (35¢ per week if 10+ goals are reached collaboratively with someone they know e.g., friend; BE "herd mentality").
Participants are expected to earn $1.25 CAD (or 0.75 British pounds) over the course of the 12-week intervention (about $5/person/yr).
Rather than offer daily incentives indefinitely, Caterpillar will offer daily incentives as a temporary feature-moving to larger, less frequent, less certain (team-based) incentives as PA becomes habitual.
