Digital wellness solutions and their use have become increasingly
common. Respectively, the need to understand their users and usage has
increased. A general problem with wellness technologies is that they
typically provide feedback through numbers and graphs instead of
providing actual guidance. One potential and novel solution for this is
digital coaching. This study is one of the first to examine digital coaching
features and their influence. We define digital coaching in the context of
sports and wellness technology and investigate its influence on physical
activity motivation and behaviour of physically inactive individuals. The
study is based on thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews
conducted for 10 participants who used a novel digital coaching solution
for one month. The digital coaching solution was found to be beneficial for
physical activity and exercise motivation and behaviour. It assisted the
users in many ways through different elements and mechanisms. Further,
the benefits also spurred to other aspect of physical wellness. The results
are discussed and implications provided.
