Abstract
Obesity is a global issue and has a direct impact on the public and private healthcare system. In this paper we describe the design and evaluation of a novel mobile health application that supports obese children and their parents to improve their nutrition intake. First results from quantitative app usage logs, questionnaires and interviews indicate that the mobile health app provides relevant information to attain a balanced nutrition. A discussion of the results and an outline of future work conclude this paper.
