    PathMate: Effects of Ubiquitous Healthcare Information Systems on Performance of Obesity Expert and Teenager Teams
    (2013-10-21)
    The prevalence of overweight and obesity in childhood has increased dramatically over the last decade (Sassi 2010). The PathMate project has therefore the objective to build and evaluate a healthcare information system (HIS) that has direct effects on the performance of obesity expert and teenager teams and indirect effects on the outcomes of obesity programs in Switzerland. A structured design-science methodology for the development of the HIS is adopted (Janzen et al. 2010). Design workshops with eight overweight children, their parents and obesity experts were conducted. A pretest has shown that the HIS supports perceived group cohesion and that the children are emotionally activated during HIS use and that this arousal had a positive valence. Methodological questions are discussed with regard to transdisciplinary research approaches.
