<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;" class=""><font face="Arial" class="" style="font-size: 14px;">While regular physical activity is critical to human health, most people do not get enough exercise. There have been many efforts to stimulate physical activity,
but with mixed results and limited success. Recent approaches have started using smartphone apps, wearable devices, social networks, and games to increase physical activity. However, to what degree these approaches are successful and how their impact could
be maximized is presently unclear. We will present results from recent and ongoing studies on the effect of online social networks, gamification (walking challenges and Pokémon Go), and the build environment on physical activity. Throughout these studies we
harness large-scale data from mobile phones, wearable devices, online social networks, and search query logs that enable an unprecedented view of physical activity across millions of individuals.</font></div>
