1. PROBLEM

ISSUES Nowadays associated socioeconomic and behavioural factors such as a lack of physical activity and excess sedentary time may be a risk factor for obesity and other growing health epidemics. A lot of agencies of the US federal government have concluded that community engagement is a critical component of any public health strategy. Health professionals, scholars, funders, and practitioners are looking for effective ways to engage neighbourhood residents around improving health at the local level.

HEALTH ACTIVISM Health activism implies, at some level, a challenge to the existing order and power relationships that are perceived to influence some aspects of health negatively or to impede health promotion. Health activism usually involves a range of resistance efforts to change the status quo, including health social movements (like protest events or actions of single organisations) . Health-related community organising and development is also regarded as important forms of health activism in creating actions for positive social changes.

ACTIVIST INTERVIEW Key findings: 1. Be enraged by certain health topics, such as childhood obesity and sugar in food, irresponsible food corporations 2. Expect some changes toward growing health epidemic 3. Want to expand outreach to raise people’s awareness 4. Beyond self mandate, limited individual strengths Joe Morgan 5.

SIGNIFICANCE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT • “Most recently, the research spotlight has been on neighbourhoods, and numerous studies have revealed how health status can be the impacted by the places in which people live. As the importance of place has emerged as a factor in population health, the importance of community engagement has also been recognised as a critical component of any successful public health strategy. “ ——- Barbara J.

2. SOLUTION

DESIGN GOALS 1. Mobilize more people to live a healthy lifestyle. 2. Encourage people to do more exercise. 3. Combine entertainment to fitness training.

INTERPRETATION OF DESIGN BRIEF Aim: Mobilising local communities to act and make some positive changes towards their life style, in order to improve the average health level of the whole society. Area of focus: Encourage communities to involve in physical activities ( Physical activity generally refers to movements that enhances health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, which can have immediate and long-term health benefits.)

FINAL DESIGN CONCEPT Technology gymnasium – “ TechnoloGym ”

STORYBOARD

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Modeling A low fidelity prototype of Technologym had been build in Rhinoceros to implement more details. The gym has fitness equipment, motion capture sensors, digital wall and can change into an interactive large scene game theatre.

Bodystorming We aim to engaging non- active person to become active person in sports. By acting out the situations in a supportive environment, we have some findings and explore our idea further.

EXPERIMENTATIONS Our User Experimentation and Evaluation involved : 1. Observing people’s movements when doing exercise. 2. Setting up Kinect to record/analyse user’s body. 3. Linking people’s motion to the game using Kinect. 4. Introduce concepts to both sports enthusiasts and otaku. 5. Gathering feedbacks and generating insights.
