Challenge based Innovation for Humanitarian Purposes: Designing a Web-App to fight Obesity. Results of ThePort_2018 Pier 32
Exploration space @ ACDH-AAS against unite innovators, impact future, act today invited for the first time people with knowledge in the Humanities to join CERN THEPort-Humanitarian Hackathon. It aimed at prototype a modular structure enhancing the analysis and understanding of knowledge systems, connecting food and its different cultures with the SDGs.
During THEPort2018, an interdisciplinary team addressed the Humanitarian challenge of obesity to fill a knowledge gap. Better knowledge about eating behaviour is core to acting properly, supporting behavioural changes. In addition, cultural knowledge and experience may allow to support better decision making processes.
The paper showcases the hackathon result: a design study of the OrbEat application, aiming to increase the knowledge about individuals’ eating behaviour and support behavioural change in a sustainable way, against the background of nutritionists’ knowledge, facilitated by neuroscientific insights (EEG).
