Research and publications

The interdisciplinary research project FoodCoach aims to make a research-based contribution to the reduction of diet-related diseases. FoodCoach develops an automated approach for the analysis of digital shopping data - based on customer cards of food retailers - and makes this information accessible to users via a mobile app. In parallel to the technical development and implementation, sociological research is being conducted to gather the lived experiences of users and the reservations of non-users towards digital nutrition monitoring and intervention. The findings gained in the form of surveys, focus group discussions and interviews are continuously incorporated into the research project.
