Design and purpose of the technology Sample Clauses

Design and purpose of the technology. There was a lot of consensus regarding the functions of the technology and the type of output required in order to assist these individuals change their behaviour. The ‘core’ areas regarding the functional design of the technology which all interviewees agreed on were:  Personal performance data  Personal targets/goals for exercise  Cumulative information collection over period of time  System for measuring and monitoring progress In order to improve the structure and content of their exercise routine, these interviewees wanted the technology to provide them with specific goals based on an assessment of their current fitness level and types of exercise they currently undertook. However, as one interviewee pointed out, the technology needs to be ‘cheat proof’ and to have artificial intelligence in order to create a personalised programme, set accurate goals, and be able to monitor and measure performance against them. The interviewees described this technology as providing a personal training programme that they could follow and be assessed against in terms of frequency and type of exercise, achievement of goals whether that is an amount of energy or calories burned, heart rate and/or quantity of exercises achieved e.g. 50 sit ups in 3 minutes. Some interviewees suggested an electronic personal trainer to accompany the personal training plan, to assist with motivation and coaching through their programme. As part of this customised training programme, interviewees wanted the technology to record their performance and compare actual performance against personal targets over time. The ability to monitor performance over time was very important to the interviewees because it would demonstrate their progression from the start of the programme to various time-points in the future e.g. after 1 week, a fortnight, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months etc. The initial short time-points were considered essential for sustaining the required self-motivation and self-confidence to continue with the training programme.

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. 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. Interviewees want the technology to calculate the number of calories in a particular item of food, drink or meal, as well as identify the nutritional content e.g. fat, sugar, salt and protein content. This will enable them to make more informed food choices and control their calorie intake. Part of the feedback mechanism to the individual would be to advise that they are eating too much sugar or too much salt in a day or for a particular meal and also to indicate whether the meal, food or drink item is of an appropriate size/quantity for losing and /or maintaining their desired weight. As an integral part of the personalised data collection, interviewees would like the scanned information to form a food diary, so that over the course of a day, a week or a month, they can easily see what they have eaten, the total calorie intake and where in future they may be able to make changes. The technology could utilise this information to offer recommendations about the type of changes that could be made to their diet and food choice. Several of the interviewees also wanted this information to be related to exercise, in terms of how much exercise would need to be done to burn off 500 calories. The other important...

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.

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.
