碩士 === 臺灣大學 === 資訊網路與多媒體研究所 === 95 === This study has created a playful tray that adopts Ubicomp and persuasive techniques into play-based occupational therapy for correcting eating problems in young children after they reached their self-feeding age. The design of the playful tray integrates eating activity and digital play to reinforce active participation of children in eating activity. User study results have shown that using the playful tray can effectively improve child meal completion time by 35%. More significantly, user study results have demonstrated that the playful tray also markedly reduces negative power play interaction between mothers and children by an average of 58%, and significantly improves family mealtime experience.
