Due to the unique mix of university populations, they remain a significant target for sedentary behaviour (SB) interventions (Montagni et al. (2018), particularly in terms of health app use. The research was concerned with reducing desk-based sedentary behaviour in university settings using a personalised digital health solution Design, Methodology and Approach: The IDEAS framework (Mummah et al. 2016) was used to explore how a personalised digital health solution might help manage desk-based sedentary behaviour. The framework was selected because it integrates behavioural theory, design thinking, user-centred design, evaluation and dissemination approaches, which are suitable to address the research aims and objectives. A Total of 10 participants were involved in this study, which took place in three phases; (1) semi-structured interviews, (2) low-fidelity prototype evaluations and high fidelity prototype evaluations. Findings: The research indicated that a personalised digital health solution would be an acceptable means of managing desk-based {\^a}€“ SB. It is recommended that researchers build a fully functional version of the prototype app and rigorously test it with more users.", }
