Mind mapping in health

Challenge

In Mexico, childhood obesity is one of the biggest health problems in our country  which is growing exponentially, and it seems that it will continue to do so if the  children's parents do nothing. My father is a pediatrician, and he designs various  diets for his patients, but since they are children, sometimes the meals seem boring,  repetitive, or simply they do not like them, further complicating the health situation in  the country, so we must find a way to that eating healthy is not something boring and  in long term, a healthy eating habit is created, improving the quality of life of future  generations.

Selection

Considering the aforementioned, my father and I decided to create a solution using  the mind mapping tool since we consider that it is the one that is appropriate for this  case.

Application

First, we asked the children and their parents to write their eating habits, their favorite  breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the blackboard in the office. In this way, we can see  when they usually eat, what they like to eat the most, how to prepare it, which is  similar to those dishes to have more options, and what to modify so that they were  as healthy as possible.

Then we analyze the meals base on the given information my father and I started to  categorize the ingredients used in the recipes into healthy and not healthy, so we  can substitute the no healthy into healthy without losing the perspective of the  original dish.

Next, we finish designing the diets, based on the characteristics given. The diets  were presented to the patients, and we asked them if there was anything that wasn’t  okay with them like the hours given to eat so my father can reschedule them cause  hours are also extremely important talking about metabolism.

Finally, the diets were given to each patient hoping it would work and the children  would start to eat better.

Insight and approach

When using this mind mapping tool, we realized that it was the best option, perhaps  the others would have also helped us but without a doubt with this one we had the  best result. And finally, where you could see if this method worked is who will use it,  in this case, the patients who when talking with them are very happy because they  are enjoying the food that their mothers prepare for them, they also mention that they  notice more energy and health by taking a balanced diet.

To conclude, I would like to thank and acknowledge the usefulness of this course. I  never thought that this type of tool could help with so many things and contribute to  one of the biggest problems in my country.
