Introduction: Increased ill health in the workplace in terms of increased workload, stress and pressure from employers is common in Sweden today, which may lead to a future variety of medical conditions and disabilities. Aim: The aim of the present study was to describe what employees at companies in the health industry experienced as a health and illhealth on a workplace. Method: A qualitative approach was used in which the interviews were based on an interview guide. The method of analysis was thematic analysis in which three themes emerged. Results: Tree themes emerged; a social interaction with colleagues, good leadership, and access to health care and movement. The findings of the study indicated that the tasks themselves were not as important as the social interaction and the leadership so that the workplace was perceived as healthy. Implication: Suggestions for further research is to try to get more equal number of men and women engaged in further study and to develop the questions in the interview more to answer the purpose better. Furthermore, the health factors reported in the results could still be a good foundation to refer to, for interventions in the workplace or for the overall development of a healthy workplace within a specific company.

Weight change applications have become increasingly common tools for managing various types of weight changes. Weight change applications were initially designed to support individuals undergoing weight changes, but over time, the applications have proven to be problematic as their use can lead to negative emotions. Common features that can trigger users include numerical data, constant reminders and competition. The purpose of the study is to gain knowledge on how weight change applications can support users in achieving a healthy weight change and gain insights into how the tool can be designed to avoid negative triggering experiences. In a design-oriented study, design proposals were developed based on identified literature. These design proposals formed the basis for a prototype that was evaluated through co-design workshops, and subsequently, the design proposals were revised. The study resulted in five design proposals on how weight change applications can be designed to promote a healthy weight change, focusing on data visualization, color choices, feedback, data input, and social interaction. / Viktförändringsapplikationer (VFA) har blivit allt mer förekommande verktyg för att hantera olika sorters viktförändringar. VFA är från början utformade för att stötta individer som genomgår en viktförändring, men med tiden har applikationerna visat sig vara problematiska då användningen kan leda till negativa känslor. Vanliga egenskaper som kan trigga användare är exempelvis numerisk data, ständiga påminnelser och konkurrens. Syftet med studien är att få kunskap om hur VFA kan stötta användare till en hälsosam viktförändring, samt få insikter i hur verktyget kan designas för att inte upplevas negativt triggande. I en designorienterad studie har designförslag tagits fram som identifierats i litteraturen. Designförslagen låg till grund för en prototyp som utvärderades med hjälp av co-design workshop och därefter reviderades designförslagen. Studien landade i fem designförslag för hur VFA kan designas för att främja en hälsosam viktförändring kopplat till visualisering av data, färgval, feedback, datainmatning samt social interaktion.
