Exploring Community Responses To Health-related Community Displays

由于超重，老年人可能面临许多健康挑战，包括糖尿病、心脏病、某些形式的癌症和中风。降低这些风险的一种方法是减肥，这通常意味着增加某人正在做的体力活动量。社会支持和技术设备都可以支持老年人增加他们所从事的运动量。该项目旨在了解社区支持如何使健身跟踪技术更有效。我们希望探索社区显示器的使用，它接收个人的健康跟踪数据，联合收割机为社区组合数据，并通过共享显示器将其与有针对性的健康信息一起呈现给社区。该提案的基础是与社区合作，了解他们的需求和愿望，通过社区技术支持人们的健康。我们希望举办一系列研讨会，以更好地了解社区认为我们应该提出的问题，然后与这些社区合作，共同设计社区展示的工作方式。这样做有两个主要好处。首先，研讨会将被设计成与老年人的双向对话，并作为一个双向的教育经验。这将增强社区的能力，提高社区对与健康有关的活动和行为的认识。其次，这些研讨会将帮助我们了解如何在这个复杂的多学科环境中利用公民科学共同设计方法，使我们能够在研究的其他方面继续使用这些方法。

Older adults can face many health challenges as a result of being overweight, including diabetes, heart disease, some forms of cancer and stroke. One way to decrease these risks is by losing weight, which often means increasing the amount of physical activity someone is doing. Both social support and technology devices can support older adults in increasing the amount of exercise they undertake.This project aims to understand how community support can make fitness tracking technology more effective. We want to explore the use of community displays which receive individuals' health tracking data, combine the data for a community and presenting it, alongside targeted health information, back to the community through shared displays.Fundamental to this proposal is to work with communities to understand their needs and desires around supporting people's health through community technology. We want to run a series of workshops to better understand the questions communities think we should be asking, and then work with these communities to collaboratively design how the community displays could work.In doing so, this will have two key benefits. Firstly, the workshops will be designed to be a two-way conversation with older adults, and act as a two-way educational experience. This will empower the community and increase community awareness of health-related activities and behaviours. Secondly, these workshops would help us understand how to utilise citizen science co-design methods in this complex multi-disciplinary setting, allowing us to continue using these methods across other aspects of our research.
