Design and purpose of the technology Sample Clauses

Design and purpose of the technology. There was a lot of agreement amongst the interviewees with regard to the main functions of the technology. The ‘core’ areas regarding the functional design of the technology were as follows:  Customised programme with personal goals for weight loss  Produce nutritional information regarding intake of key nutrients  To control calorie intake and portion size  Scan information from product label  Integrated with other technology and multi-functional To assist with behavioural change the technology needs to provide the interviewees with a customised programme that enables then to set personal goals based on a reduction of calorie intake, monitor their energy intake on a daily basis and over time, advise on food choice and portion size to achieve calorie target and provide feedback in terms of text or visual outputs and possibly verbal feedback. It is important that the programme is tailor- made to their personal circumstances and therefore includes exercise routines, as well as, current body shape and weight. “Something that can advise you to change your habits, for example your goal is to reach two thousand calories per day, you weight eighty kilos and your goal is to decrease to seventy five. You give previously your body measures to the app and then it could advise you how to lower your intake only with the consumption of these two thousand calories per day. For example, can tell you that red meat is worse than white meat or fish and could help you to lower your calories per day or tell you how much of that you can eat”. FIN “First you punch in personal goals and of course if you could combine it with my personal schedule. It would take into account what is in my physical training program and calculate ahead. And tune my eating according to that”. FIN To assist with the collection of data about what an individual has selected to eat at home or in a restaurant, or to purchase in supermarket, the technology needs to be able to scan information from menus, product labels and pictures of foods/drinks. “Well I’m not so adverse to putting information in to things you know so, that would be ok, if you had to enter in some information, or better still, if it could scan something in. Yes. If the menu options would have bar codes, it would be pretty easy for me to compare the options”. UK “Well, the most important is that if I try to manage my weight, is the calories. I would select pictures that this is my intention to eat and the device would give me calories...

Design and purpose of the technology. There was not lot of agreement amongst all the interviewees (from both UK and FIN) with regard to the main functions of the technology and how this technological device could assist them with changing their behaviour. This appears to be mainly due to the personal, idiosyncratic nature of the problem and how each individual responds to their situation. However, there did appear to be some consistent themes about how the technology could promote sleep or provide data on why they may be waking up in the middle of the night. These themes also tended to emerge from interviewees within the same country rather than being shared across all interviewees from both countries. The Finnish interviewees’ responses focused on methodological type issues concerned with preparing themselves for sleep and understanding more about how they sleep, in particular the amount of movement during their sleep. The two main areas that emerged were:  Advice on bedtime routine and the time to go to bed  Monitor the type and length of sleep, as well as the amount of movement in sleep The Finnish interviewees wanted this technology to be able to advise them on an appropriate time to go to bed and what an ideal bedtime routine should be. Almost like a bedtime routine you would create for a child but transferred to an adult. It was suggested that in order to recommend the most appropriate time to go to bed and start the bedtime routine, the technology needed to be able to measure and monitor the psychological state of the individual several hours prior to the bedtime routine. This way, the technology may be able to alert and advise the individual on how to change their behaviour in the run up to the bedtime to facilitate a better night’s sleep. “It could tell me what the right time to go to bed is; it could be based on my activity or my physiological state. ... Well, not too early or not too late. Like an alarm clock but also measuring your current physiological state, it may be also related with stress, but the optimal time fluctuates”. FIN

Design and purpose of the technology. Due to the idiosyncratic nature of how individuals experience and respond to stress, each interviewee had different thoughts about whether technology could help them and if so, what the functions and design would be. Therefore, no common themes emerged across all interviewees regarding the design and functions of the technology; however, there were four areas which some of the interviewees shared.  To assess level of stress (all FIN and 1 UK interviewee)  Message alert system (2 FIN and 1 UK interviewee)  Monitoring the participation in activities to relieve stress (1 FIN & 1 UK interviewee)  An organiser app on a mobile phone (2 FIN and 1 UK interviewee) The interviewees want a device that can assess how different situations are affecting them in terms of their level of stress. Several interviewees talked about measuring heart rate, pulse, blood pressure or level of sweat at different intervals during the day to give them an indication of how they are coping with increased stress and if required, an alarm to alert them to situations when their stress levels are too high. Interesting the interviewees said they could feel themselves becoming increasingly stressed but they wanted to be able to measure it and have something that would draw their attention to their stress when it was reaching an unacceptable level. This may suggest that these individuals are aware of their increasing stress levels but currently choose to ignore the physical signals and continue at the same pace and thus placing the body and mind under continued stress.
