Designing Technology to Encourage Healthy Eating at Work

Published: 20 November 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Office vitality becomes increasingly crucial to improve individuals' quality of life [5]. Eating healthier at work can substantially promote health and vitality among office workers. Office environments and work routines offer good settings to apply healthy eating interventions [1]. In the meantime, many newly developed digital technologies, such as wearable sensors [3] and mobile apps [2] present opportunities to support healthy diet interventions. However, little is known about how to design health-promoting technologies and interventions to optimize office diet. This poster presents an experience sampling study to understand office workers' eating experiences within the workaday context and identify design opportunities to promote office diet optimization.
