How to motivate and support behaviour change through
design is becoming of increasing interest to the CHI
community. In this paper, we present our experiences of
building systems that motivate people to engage in upper
limb rehabilitation exercise after stroke. We report on
participatory design work with four stroke survivors to
develop a holistic understanding of their motivation and
rehabilitation needs, and to construct and deploy engaging
interactive systems that satisfy these. We reflect on the
limits of motivational theories in trying to design for the
lived experience of motivation and highlight lessons learnt
around: helping people articulate what motivates them;
balancing work, duty, fun; supporting motivation over time;
and understanding the wider social context. From these we
identify design guidelines that can inform a toolkit
approach to support both scalability and personalisability.
