- I believe that Chick Clique could foster stronger support groups by modifying the data sent to the group. I believe that the system should send a text message to the group when each member achieves their daily exercise goal. This could cause the members to nudge the person that is deficient and thereby motivating them to stay on goal because they know other people care about their health. Has this variation been explored? The paper states "the age of individuals does not affect their ability or willingness to use the technology." I would have expected a correlation between senior age and reluctance to learn and embrace new technology. Have there been any special techniques or approaches that are useful with this age group?
