Small Hammers and Silver Bullets: Low-Income Families, Dietary Behavioral Change and Ubicomp

Over recent years many novel and innovative technologies have emerged from academic and commercial domains aimed at encouraging changes in physical activity levels and, to a lesser extent, dietary intake. In view of the wellacknowledged inequalities in health between the rich and the poor, populations of low socioeconomic status stand to benefit most from advances in technology designed to promote health- related behavioral change. In this paper we use the findings of a recent study into the socioeconomic context of dietary behavioral change for low-income families to frame a discussion of the appropriateness of Ubicomp research and innovation in this domain.
