LIFANA
The LIFANA meal planner recommends meals for a whole week based on the user’s preferences, such as culture, taste, and budget, but more importantly on personal advice provided by professional nutritionists. The goal is to include recipes that are nutritionally appropriate on their own and that the user likes. Depending on the individual abilities and situation of the user, the package will further support shopping tasks for self-cooking, coordination of shopping tasks with support persons, such as family members, and grocery delivery services. Our clinical partner develops a tele-nutrition service model that facilitates the interaction between the end-user and the formal care provider, including laboratory tests. Our project has a strong focus on end-user integration to design a desirable product. We will invite users to shape the LIFANA solution according to their needs. The resulting prototype will be tested for usability before evaluating its effects on health and well-being during twelve-month field trials in Portugal and The Netherlands.
