Abstract (eng):With the rise of smart phones and mobile technologies, novel ways of promoting personal health have been developed.
Such solutions can be for example tracking your exercise activity or daily calories.
Even though there are already countless of these services, the mobile health field is still in its early phases and there is room for innovation.

Substance abuse is one of the most influencing factors in peoples health.
In Finland, alcohol consumption causes significant costs to the society.
This thesis focuses on designing and developing a motivating application to help in fighting the problem of unhealthy alcohol consumption.
The target audience for such an application is the people who have problems related to alcohol but are not yet debilitated by it.
The prototype developed in this thesis tries to provide these people with a motivating application for planning their alcohol consumption and tracking the moods related to this.
Abstract (fin):Älypuhelimet ja mobiilit teknologiat ovat mahdollistaneet henkilökohtaisen terveyden seurannan uusilla tavoilla.
Käyttäjät voivat mobiilisti seurata liikunnalista aktiivisuuttaan tai kuluttamiaan kaloreita.
Markkinoilla on jo useita palveluita, jotka tukevat terveellisiä elemäntapoja.
Alalla on kuitenkin tilaa uusille palveluille ja innovaatioille.

Päihteiden käyttö on yksi eniten vaikuttavista tekijöistä ihmisen terveydessä.
Suomessa alkoholinkäyttö aiheuttaa suuret kustannukset yhteiskunnalle.
Tämä työ keskittyy motivoivan sovelluksen suunnitteluun ja kehitykseen.
Sovelluksen avulla pyritään auttamaan henkilöitä, joilla on ongelmia alkoholinkäytön kanssa mutta pystyvät silti käymään töissä.
Työssä kehitetty prototyyppi pyrkii motivoimaan ihmisiä suunnittelemaan alkoholinkäyttöään, sekä seuraamaan siihen liittyviä olotiloja.
