Designing a Cross-Domain Digital Health Platform: A Feasibility Study to Support Dietary Awareness in Corporate Canteens
The cross-domain nature is a key issue of digitalization and digital platforms are valuable in bringing data from these domains together. This research reports how digital devices connected to a health platform and enterprise systems support dietary awareness. In linking the medical, fitness and nutrition domains, the feasibility pilot explored user engagement, data integration, and early effects on dietary knowledge and well-being. The primary objective was to assess acceptability and implementation practicality through participants’ logging behavior and interaction with feedback features. A secondary aim was to explore enhanced support in self-awareness and knowledge of dietary choices. Over a 14-day period, participants logged over 1,800 meals and reported significant gains in dietary knowledge and WHO-5 scores. Technical challenges in recipe parsing revealed the need for standardized nutrition formats. Findings suggest the platform's feasibility and may support feedback-informed behavior change in workplace health contexts, offering a foundation for scalable digital nutrition interventions.
