Obesity is one of the great challenges of modern civilization. Heart disease, diabetes and other conditions related to obesity are already a major problem. People become lazy when encouraged to use their own car instead of public transport or walking to work: this leads to more problems, such as traffic congestion, pollution and parking issues. The aim of this thesis is to design and develop the basic required characteristics, functionalities, options and features of an application which can be used by companies to provide incentive to their employees and provide analytics about the wellbeing of these employees. It is all about incentivizing people and organizations to make choices that have a positive impact on the environment. The mobile application Cleancentive was designed, developed and tested for companies so they can support their employees with their physical health activities.
The study shows that while testing the application, the daily routine and lifestyle of the author was benefitted, bringing more energy for the day and also increasing productivity. It was also found that incentive models may need to be customised on a company-by-company basis to find out which model works best for them, always bearing in mind that people tend to get motivated and excited when they’re getting some kind of financial reward.
