Design research activities

During the first semester of the project we’ve conducted most of the planned (user) research to gather insights in relation to:

  • Contextual factors that influences food behaviour
  • State-of-the-art on self-tracking and self-reporting food behaviour
  • Target groups’ needs, preferences and experiences in relation to their health condition
  • Target groups’ needs, preferences and experiences with self-tracking and self-reporting food behaviour
For these purposes we have developed the following documentation:
  • User research plan & protocol
  • Data management plan
  • Standard and medical ethics applications (including consent forms)
The main activities conducted have been designed jointly among project partners:
  • Focus group with five dieticians
  • Contextual interviews with eight clients at their homes
  • Interviews with five parents of COACH’s clients
  • Co-design session with clients/parents at TU Delft
  • Evaluation of user engagement and emotional impact of Digest Inn, a game-based reporting food app
  • Evaluation of experiential prototypes for self-reporting food context
To support the design activities, we have developed several design materials:
  • Scenario cards (used during interviews)
  • Sensitizing booklets (used in preparation of co-design session)
  • Persona/scenario (used during co-design session)
  • Experiential prototyping
  • Data probes to support interview sessions after 6 weeks of Digest Inn use
Design Interventions

Three design interventions with an explorative character have been designed and developed in the period March-December 2019:

  • Digest Inn evaluation of user engagement and emotional impact
  • Experiential prototypes of food context self-reporting
  • Relevance of reporting food context at home
