家庭成员的支持是健康的重要决定因素。在这项工作中，我们探索了利用TableChat（一款基于聊天的移动应用程序，用于记录食物）促进家庭支持的机会。TableChat将食物作为家庭支持的测试案例，实际上扩展了餐桌上的亲密体验。我们对158人进行了调查，了解他们现有的家庭支持做法，并在现场对10个家庭进行了桌面聊天。我们发现有形支持是TableChat中最常见的支持形式，也是参与者最欣赏的支持形式。然而，我们发现参与者不仅重视家人采取的支持行动，也重视那些故意不采取的行动（例如，不买垃圾食品）。最后，家庭报告说，分开吃饭的记录有助于交换支持，满足好奇心，并提供了一个“检查”，一切都很好，而一起吃饭的记录感觉多余。我们总结了一个框架，说明如何设计信息学工具来补充而不是与现有的家庭互动竞争。
Support from family members is an important determinant of health. In this work, we probe opportunities for facilitating family support with TableChat, a chat-based mobile application for food journaling. Leveraging food as a test case of family support, TableChat virtually extends the experience of bonding over the dinner table. We surveyed 158 people about their existing family support practices and deployed TableChat with 10 families in the field. We found that tangible support was the most common form of support shared in TableChat and also the most appreciated by participants. However, we found that participants valued not only supportive actions taken by their family members, but also those deliberately not taken (e.g., not buying junk food). Finally, families reported that journaling meals eaten apart aided the exchange of support, satisfied curiosity, and provided a "check-in" that everything was alright, whereas journaling meals eaten together felt redundant. We conclude with a framework that illustrates how informatics tools can be designed to complement rather than compete with existing family interactions.
