ABSTRACT
Our childhood eating patterns strongly affect our lifelong health. Recently, type II diabetes emerged as a national health crisis in America that can be prevented almost entirely by improving the quality of child nutrition. In this paper, we describe the scenario-based design process used to build NutriStat, a system for tracking young child nutrition for children with multiple caregivers. NutriStat empowers parents to collaboratively monitor a young child's diet and consequently provide more well-rounded nutrition.
