Literature Review Need Intervention that uses technology to locate exercise partner • “. . . 94% of respondents were willing to share location of exercise. This suggests that computing systems can help users find exercise partners by appropriately controlling and matching the granularity of location.” • Wu, M, Abhishek, R. & Truong, K.N. (2009).
