introduction

Research and development of a low-cost, user friendly pedometer (a device for measuring walking/ exercise) that supports the British Heart Foundation's campaign to reduce rates of heart disease in the UK by encouraging at-risk groups such as older people to walk regularly. Can a redesigned piece of technology act as a catalyst for behavioural change if it really meets user needs?
