Paper Abstract:
|
Pregnant women have a special need for vitamins and other nutrients. Especially for migrant women who often lack proficiency in the language of the country, it is important that they receive information on food and nutrition in an easily accessible form. The project, in co-operation with the Gebietskrankenkasse Styria, Austria (social insurance, district of Styria), examined to what extent pregnant migrant woman are already aware of dietary recommendations of the Federal Ministry of Health. Furthermore, it was examined whether pregnant migrant women already document their dietary habits and whether they would be able to document them with an app. The aim of the project is to provide information in an easily accessible form and to provide more awareness of a healthy diet during pregnancy through nutritional documentation. The results were implemented in an app that provides the desired nutritional information and a documentation of nutrition. The software informs on the basis of the entered foods units which were consumed and gives further food recommendations. |
