“…For instance, researchers have explored persuasive games to promote healthy food choices (e.g., [54,81,83]), and scanning devices to help people quickly identify suitable items for a specific diet [74]. Similarly, researchers have used augmented reality (AR) to help shoppers find healthy items [2], interactive displays to calculate serving sizes and compare products [11], and mobile apps that help shoppers to visualize and interpret the nutritional balance of their shopping cart [13,16].…”

Technology increasingly mediates our everyday interactions with food, ranging from its production and handling to the experience of preparing and eating it with friends and family. However, it is unclear whether these technologies support decisions conducive to a healthy diet. In this work, we devised the first heuristics for evaluating a technology’s support for food literacy: the interconnected combination of awareness, knowledge, and skills to empower individuals to make informed food choices. We applied an iterative, expert-driven process to derive and refine our heuristics, starting with an established food literacy framework. We then conducted evaluations with Nutrition and HCI experts to show how the heuristics support summative and formative design and evaluations of food-related technologies. We show that the heuristics are valuable design tools, and that they help participants reflect on food literacy challenges. We also discuss tensions between nutrition and HCI best practices.

“…A lack of time to participate in educational classes [13,16,59] and the effort required to understand nutritional labels on packages [7] are common barriers to motivating young adults to develop their Food Literacy. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has explored different technologies to help consumers overcome these barriers, like Augmented Reality to reduce the time required to find healthy items [1], scanning devices to quickly identify suitable items for a specific diet (e.g., [36]), interactive displays to calculate serving sizes and compare products (e.g., [3]), and games played in store to promote healthy snack choices (e.g., [44]). These approaches lower barriers to healthy eating through automation of tasks that require time and effort at the grocery store, but fall short of developing Food Literacy, and the knowledge and motivation to continue healthy eating behaviours for the long-term.…”

Establishing healthy eating patterns early in life is critical and has implications for lifelong health. Situated interventions are a promising approach to improve eating patterns. However, HCI research has emphasized calorie control and weight loss, potentially leading consumers to prioritize caloric intake over healthy eating patterns. To support healthy eating more holistically, we designed a gameful app called Pirate Bri's Grocery Adventure (PBGA) that seeks to improve food literacy-meaning the interconnected combination of foodrelated knowledge, skills, and behaviours that empower an individual to make informed food choices-through a situated approach to grocery shopping. Findings from our three-week field study revealed that PBGA was effective for improving players' nutrition knowledge and motivation for healthier food choices and reducing their impulse purchases. Our findings highlight that nutrition apps should promote planning and shopping based on balance, variety, and moderation.

Using interactive “Nutrition labels” for financial products to assist decision making under uncertainty

Product information labels can help users understand complex information, leading them to make better decisions. One area where consumers are particularly prone to make costly decision-making errors is long-term saving, which requires understanding of complex concepts such as uncertainty and trade-offs. Although most people are poorly equipped to deal with such concepts, interactive design can potentially help users make better decisions. We developed an interactive information label to assist consumers with retirement saving decision-making. To evaluate it, we exposed 450 users to one of four user interface conditions in a retirement saving simulator where they made 35 yearly decisions under changing circumstances. We found a significantly better ability of users to reach their goals with the information label. Furthermore, users who interacted with the label made better decisions than those who were presented with a static information label. Lastly, we found the label particularly effective in helping novice savers.
