Abstract
Being overweight or obese raises the chances of developing a number of illnesses. Maintaining a healthy weight can help avoid these health problems, halt their progression, or resolve them. A variety of intervention strategies and digital tools have been implemented for obesity prevention. However, these strategies and tools often are not designed in consideration of the end users' needs and preferences. To overcome this limitation, the study proposes an integrated participatory design process based on the design thinking and user-centered design methods, which involves end-users and the wider community in a synergistic dialogue. This dialogue can help define intervention strategies and technological tools for obesity prevention.
