An understanding of the time concerns that the mothers experienced when caring for their young children and how they resolve them provides an important insight into the reasons for prolonged bottle feeding.

The rate of domiciliary care provision in North and West Belfast appears to be falling, despite it being an area of high socioeconomic deprivation where the demand for the service is growing. The general perception was that domiciliary care is too time-consuming, that the patients are too difficult to manage, and that there was a lack of appropriate equipment. As a result, the majority of GDPs in North and West Belfast felt that the CDS should care for all domiciliary patients.

Tangible user interfaces and physical representations of data are both promising approaches to improving insights derived from large data sets. Interactive tangible representations of data, which seamlessly combine those two approaches, potentially take advantage of cognitive processes, data representations, and interactions not supported by current approaches and may enhance collaboration. This paper describes user evaluations of two sets of prototypes comprised of physical blocks to represent data. One set uses six blocks of identical dimensions and another set uses six blocks with different dimensions. The objectives of this pilot study include (i) making general observations on how users interact with the two prototypes, (ii) making observations on the role these tangible interfaces play in collaboration, and (iii) comparing the two sets of tangible interfaces. We report on the results of the study and discuss future work.
