ChefMyself

ChefMyself was a European project within the AAL Joint Programme. It was designed to improve older adults’ eating habits by providing assistance in cooking, shopping, meal planning and health monitoring. I accumulated the roles of project manager and researcher and the user interfaces (tablet device and TV) for the project were our responsibility. As part of the design process we conducted user research using ethnographic techniques: we went into older adults’ homes for interviews and observations and we did the same with and expert kitchen robot user. Within the dissemination activities, I planned the project video, drew the storyboard and wrote the script. The user interfaces for the tablet device were designed by Jorge Ribeiro and Catarina Dantas.2013-2015
