persuasive technology
technology designed to cause users to voluntarily change their attitudes or behaviour, through digital feedback and social influence

persuasive technology uses an influencing algorithm and actuators to provide active feedback to the user. Such feedback can be a change of environmental light, different music, an encouraging message, or an anonymous comparison with a reference (e.g., peers). Since Fogg's seminal work in 2002, persuasive technology has obtained a position on the border of social sciences and engineering.
