title = "Steadi: Proactively preventing burnouts among office workers through app-based workflow management services",
abstract = "Burnout prevention has become increasingly crucial to sustaining office vitality. However, existing strategies mainly focus on the recovery phase of burnouts, and their preventive effect is minimal. This design study explores a digital solution utilizing a data-driven approach to prevent burnouts among office workers. We present Steadi - a personal app that integrates a task planning and reflection system as well as an interactive workflow guidance to optimize the daily work task experiences. We evaluated Steadi with nine participants to acquire some preliminary insights for validation and exploring design opportunities. Quantitative results suggest that the workflow guidance feature of Steadi was effective in improving the perceived work value, which could play an important role in reducing the risks of developing burnouts. The qualitative data indicated that Steadi could offer positive user experiences, which might help prevent repeat burnouts through enhanced work performance and mental resilience in the long-term. Based on our findings, we discuss the next step of this research.",
