“…Additionally, data synchronization between all devices [5] is required. e requirements of our prototype are in line with the work by Lessel et al [4]. Additionally, most importantly we wanted to avoid the e ort of Bluetooth pairing and frequent ba ery charging and required a possibility to weigh plates larger than the top plate (not directly possible with a surrounding case rim).…”

In this work we present a portable system for nutrition logging that integrates multiple devices and modalities in order to facilitate food and drink tracking. e system consists of a smartphone, a smartwatch and a smartscale that can be combined exibly by users depending on the current situation and their personal needs. Based on a requirement analysis, we present the rationale behind the design and implementation of our food and drink logger. We also report the preliminary results of an in-situ study we conducted in order to explore the potential bene ts and challenges of a multidevice approach to nutrition tracking in daily life se ings.

“…Lessel et al [16] used a smartscale as a drink sensor for an app providing gamifications to motivate users to drink more. Soubam et al [22] presented a system that incorporates a smartwatch to detect drinking activity and a smartscale to measure the fluid amount.…”

“…We decided to include a scale into our nutrition logging system as it is able to measure the weight of food and drink with high precision and its general functionality is already known to users. Even though our prototype is not limited to fluid intake, some requirements identified by Lessel et al [16] are applicable in our case as well:…”

“…The LEDs of the charger indicating the state can be seen from the side. These components are basically the same as used in the work by Lessel et al [16] and Soubam et al [22]. We didn't use a case printed by a 3D printer since those are often less stable which has been a problem reported by Lessel and colleagues.…”

In this paper we present a mobile system for nutrition logging which integrates multiple devices and modalities to facilitate food and drink tracking. The user is free to decide in each situation to use the most appropriate device combination out of a smartphone, smartwatch and smartscale. We describe the design and implementation of our system which is based on a requirements analysis. Finally, first results of a preliminary in-situ study with the prototype are reported giving first hints about the benefits and challenges of this multi-device approach in daily life scenarios.

A Study Into Designing an Ambient Water Bottle That Supports Users' Water-Intake Tracking Practices

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Taking on the challenge of motivating users to drink water regularly, we designed a smart water bottle that can track water intake behavior and inform users about this behavior through ambient feedback. We then conducted two studies to explore the bottle's feedback design from the perspective of users and designers. First, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 prospective users and found that they would like to receive personalized, precise, gamified and reminding feedback. Second, we conducted a design workshop with 13 professional designers to explore the range of visualizations that can be used to give feedback. Analyzing these visualizations, we identified three reminder types (augmenting, restoring and balancing) and six visualization styles grouped according to three dimensions of ambient displays (representation fidelity, notification level, aesthetic emphasis). In this paper, we first explain our water bottle concept along with existing solutions. Then, we report the results of these studies. Finally, we discuss the potential implications of the results for our own work as well as for designing ambient displays aimed at supporting users' water intake tracking practices.
