Active Waiting: Facilitating Short Bouts of Exercise During Idle Times for Promoting Physical Activity in Daily Living

While the app was well-received for enabling meaningful use of waiting time, future work could explore more proactive approaches to encourage consistent usage in diverse daily contexts.
