The project aims to test the effectiveness of computer technology as an adjunct to the client-provider interaction in General Medical Practice. An innovative system for generating dietary assessment and advice will be developed, supporting both local software and multi media industries and providing data on population based interventions for prevalent lifestyle disease (obesity, diabetes). The study involves developing the technology, evaluating its use in practice and researching the opinions of key stakeholders (consumers, GPs dietitians) on the position of this technology in the client-provider interaction.Read moreRead less
