Digital wellness technologies and their use have become
exceedingly popular. More and more people are using them in their
everyday lives. Respectively, the need to understand their users and usage
has increased. This study aims to deepen the understanding of how people
use and perceive wellness technologies in their everyday lives. Empirically,
the study is based on diaries collected from 18 participants over a six-week
period, which are analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that
the use of wellness technologies can positively influence wellness
motivation. Further, they can help people to learn more about their own
wellness related behaviour and its effects (learning-effect). Experience of
gamification can influence motivation positively. It also seems that some
people engage in self-gamification, which is defined in this study as a
desire-based action to gamify some recurring activities or bodily functions.
