How InterCode Built BeeHealthy's Three-Pillar App

Based on initial focus group interviews with Ukrainian mothers and children in Switzerland, a digital tool (mobile app) was selected as the best medium for the program. It is intended to efficiently reach the target group, minimizing barriers to access. The program will be developed with a pragmatic, participatory, and agile approach. The content will be structured as follows:

Nutrition (EAT)

Based on the Ukrainian program " Healthy Nutrition for School Children," this section will be further developed with the expertise of the BFH's Nutrition and Dietetics Department, findings from a cooking workshop and interviews with the target group.

Stress and social skills (BREATHE)

The content will be based on the Swiss Lung League’s "ready4life" app. The strategies developed for this coaching app as well as tips and tricks for dealing with stress will be discussed and adapted with the target group. In this section of the app, children will learn, for example, how to reduce stress with the help of breathing, meditation exercises and physical exercises. Learning healthy stress management strategies reduces the risk of tobacco or nicotine use and thus also reduces the development of lung and respiratory diseases.

Movement (MOVE)

The content will be developed with the knowledge and experience of Anastasiia Nahorna, a Ukrainian who now lives in Switzerland and works at the BFH-G. Currently, an initial version (prototype) of the app "Bee Healthy" is being developed, and Ukrainian IT specialists have been recruited for its programming. The development of the app is also supported by the Ukrainian NGO "BeHealthy." This prototype will be continuously tested with representatives of the target group, evaluated and adapted where necessary.
