This document discusses directions for ICT research to support disease prevention through lifestyle interventions. It notes that lifestyle factors contribute significantly to disease burden. Personalized interventions are needed to motivate behavior change, which is difficult. Profiling individuals can identify risk factors, motivations, and barriers to change. Tailored guidance and support on multiple levels can strengthen intentions and abilities to adopt healthy behaviors. ICT platforms could enable low-cost, personalized interventions by facilitating interactions between individuals and relevant organizations. The goal is to create sustainable behavior change through coordinated, multi-level interventions.
This document summarizes a study on mirror gazing behaviors in people with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The study found that those with BDD had different motivations, behaviors, and outcomes from mirror gazing compared to controls. Specifically:
1) BDD patients were more motivated by a desire to see themselves differently or know exactly how they look.
2) They focused more on internal feelings about their appearance rather than their external reflection.
3) BDD patients felt worse after mirror gazing and were more likely to use ambiguous reflective surfaces beyond mirrors.
The study provides insights into problematic mirror gazing behaviors that are treatment targets for BDD.
This document discusses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its treatment. It begins by exploring the history and definitions of ADHD, noting debates around whether it is a disorder, disability, or difference. It then examines potential causes and considers ADHD as a neurodevelopmental condition. The document outlines various treatment approaches, including medication, nutrition, education, therapy, environmental supports, and lifestyle changes. It emphasizes treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and the importance of personalized treatment plans.
The Change of the Term ‘Mental Retardation’ to 'Intellectual Disability', CEC...Janet Van Heck
The document discusses the change in terminology from "mental retardation" to "intellectual disability" in reference to individuals with cognitive impairments. It outlines the trends in considering intellectual disability as a multidimensional construct defined by limitations in functioning rather than as an absolute trait. Additionally, it reviews the historical definitions and approaches that have transitioned toward a social model focused on functional ability and individual supports.
This document outlines key findings from a literature review on aging with developmental disabilities. It discusses how individuals with developmental disabilities experience accelerated aging, showing signs of aging in their 40s-50s that others typically see in their 60s-70s. Health challenges like obesity, mental health issues, and diseases like Alzheimer's are more prevalent. Barriers to healthy aging include a lack of tailored health promotion and difficulties with identification and diagnosis of issues. Recommendations include improving practitioner education, regular health monitoring from age 40, and empowering individuals to participate in their own healthcare.
Aging, Mental Retardation and Physical FitnessGeoAnitia
This document provides an overview of physical fitness as it relates to aging individuals with mental retardation. It defines physical fitness as having enough energy to complete daily tasks without excessive fatigue. The four components of physical fitness are muscle strength/endurance, flexibility, body composition, and cardiovascular endurance. Research shows individuals with mental retardation often have low levels of fitness that increase health risks as they age. The document provides guidelines for starting a fitness program, including getting medical approval and engaging in both structured exercise and increased daily physical activity.
This document discusses various hazards throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late childhood. It outlines psychological and physical hazards. In infancy, psychological hazards include traditional birth beliefs that can impact infant development, while physical hazards are birth complications that can cause brain damage. In early childhood, common physical hazards are illness, accidents, unattractiveness, obesity, and left-handedness. Accidents are a leading cause of death. In late childhood, illness can cause irritability while accidents may lead to timidity; obesity increases diabetes risk and awkwardness harms self-esteem. Physical disabilities from accidents often cause social inhibition.
Childhood neglect can have both immediate and long-term impacts on children's health, cognitive development, and social functioning. Neglect in early childhood can impair brain development and cause lifelong poor physical and mental health. It may also lead to intellectual deficits, poor academic performance, depression, and low self-esteem. As they grow older, neglected children are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, and criminal activities. They may repeat the neglectful behaviors with their own children.

1. Engagement refers to the level of interaction and commitment customers have with a brand, and can be quantified using metrics like frequency, depth, and quality of interactions over time.
2. An engagement scoring algorithm automatically measures the engagement level of customers on a 1-5 star scale based on their behaviors, and profiles customers into engaged, passive, and disengaged groups.
3. Highly engaged customers are valuable brand advocates who drive increased revenue through referrals, repeat purchases, and upsells. Maintaining and growing customer engagement should be a top priority since engaged customers are critical to business goals like revenue, market share, and reputation.

This BDC survey is the first study of its kind in Canada designed to show what executives of small businesses are planning for investment projects both in terms of the sums of money and the motivations and constraints that are holding them back from investing.
The Corporation And Internal stakeholdersAsHra ReHmat
This document discusses organizational culture and internal stakeholders. It begins by outlining how value-based stakeholder management assessments can help implement ethics training programs more effectively. It then defines organizational culture as shared values and meanings held in common and transmitted through leadership, heroes, rituals, and communication. Strong corporate cultures have widely shared philosophies that value people, have symbolic heroes, and celebrate caring rituals. The document also discusses observing culture, leading strategy and structure, and balancing competing internal stakeholder values to ensure integrity and market effectiveness.
This presentation introduces computer hardware and networking. It discusses the major elements of a computer system as hardware and software. Hardware includes all physical parts like the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, memory, and cards. The CPU contains an arithmetic logic unit and control unit. Networking is classified into personal, local, metropolitan, and wide area networks based on the range and area covered. Any questions about computer hardware components or networking types are welcome.
While there’s a lot you could be doing, sometimes it’s hard to know which tracks to start, stop, or pause. To help you find the right mix to meet your marketing goals, we consolidated responses from the 2015 Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends research report section — “Which content marketing initiatives are you working on now, and in the next 12 months?” We broke out the results as follows:
• By priority
• By business type (B2B, B2C and nonprofit)
• By geography (North America, Australia, United Kingdom)
Part I covers two “playlists”:
Internal Processes and Content Marketing Strategy Tactics. From channels to platforms to audience segmentation, learn how you can best establish your content marketing strategy and structure your team internally for more efficient processes.
Part II: Playlist 3 (coming soon) is where you can mix things up a bit with different Execution Tactics. See how to create and deliver the best content to meet your business objectives. While some geographies and business types have similar priorities, others are finding their own unique beats — and the differences may surprise you. We hope you find the following findings insightful and inspirational as you make your plans for the year ahead.

The document discusses audience profiling, which media companies use to define their target audiences. It explains that factors like age, gender, race, education level, income, lifestyle, culture and interests should be considered. Two common methods are described - demographics, which categorizes people by occupation and income, and psychographics, which examines behavior and personality traits to group people. An example reader profile for a music magazine is presented to show the type of information advertisers would find useful. The document prompts the reader to create their own target audience profile considering relevant demographics, psychographics, lifestyle brands and media consumption habits.
Social Marketing Intelligence® gives you access to users "likes", "interests" and demographic data contained within Facebook. It scans thousands of users' profiles and your competitors' pages to identify new audiences.
The document defines social determinants as the economic and social conditions that shape health, such as income, education, employment, housing, and gender. It provides examples of social determinants like income level, employment conditions, and access to healthcare services. It also notes that addressing social determinants takes a holistic approach to healthcare and challenges paradigms that perpetuate HIV stigma. Several state organizations plan to collaborate to identify how social determinants impact clients and address root causes of HIV risk through programming.
Introduction to psychology health psychology Intro to Psych Powerpoint 6.pptxCarolinaOrtega619481
Health psychology is a subfield that uses cognitive and behavioral principles to promote well-being and prevent/treat illness. It takes a biopsychosocial approach, examining biological, psychological, and social factors that influence health. Key topics covered include learning types, stress and disease links, personality traits like optimism affecting health, social influences on behavior, and strategies for fostering resilience like building connections and maintaining hope.
This document provides information about holistic health dimensions and practices for adolescent health. It discusses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and moral-spiritual changes that occur during adolescence. The physical changes include increases in height, weight, and development of secondary sex characteristics. Mentally, adolescents develop more advanced thinking skills but can be egocentric. Emotionally, they experience mood swings and issues with self-esteem. Socially, they rely more on peers and may rebel against parents. Spiritually, they explore life's big questions and their own strengths and weaknesses.
This document provides an overview of mental health and mental illness. It discusses definitions of mental health from the WHO, components and indicators of good mental health, characteristics of mentally healthy people, and risk factors for mental illness. It also covers the biological foundations of mental health including the central nervous system, neurotransmitters, and the interaction between physical and mental health problems. Major theories of psychology and development are summarized, including Freud's psychosexual stages, Erikson's psychosocial theory, Piaget's cognitive development stages, and Sullivan's interpersonal theory. Common mental disorders, their impacts, and approaches to prevention and treatment are outlined. Key figures in the field like Freud and concepts such as defense mechanisms are explained.

This document discusses mental hygiene, mental health, and strategies for promoting mental health. It defines mental hygiene as measures to reduce mental illness through prevention and early treatment. Mental health is defined as a state of balance and harmony between oneself and others. The document outlines concepts of mental hygiene including prevention, preservation, curative measures, and balanced personality development. It describes characteristics of mentally healthy individuals and warning signs of poor mental health. Finally, it discusses strategies for primary and secondary prevention of mental illness through strengthening individuals, families, and communities.
The document discusses impairment, disability, and handicap. It defines impairment as any loss or abnormality of body structure or function, disability as a restriction in performing activities considered normal, and handicap as limitations preventing fulfillment of roles regarded as normal based on social and cultural factors. It also discusses attitudes toward disability, differences in how disabled people perceive their situation, mechanisms for coping with handicaps such as shock, denial, anger, depression, and guilt, and the roles of social factors and staff attitudes.
The document discusses several determinants of health including heredity, environment, culture, media, and technology. It provides definitions and discusses the level of control for each determinant. Some key points made include that heredity has about 5 out of 10 control and can be influenced by treatments. The environment has less control but can be influenced by one's friends and activities. Culture has a rating of 5 out of 10 for control as home culture is harder to influence than choices outside the home. Media is rated as having 8 out of 10 control as people can control what they post but not where it spreads. The effects of each determinant on health are also discussed briefly.
This document outlines a 5-day seminar on nursing care of persons with chronic illness. The seminar will include lectures on influences of chronic illness, impacts on clients and families, and impacts of health professionals. Case studies will also be presented each day focusing on different aspects of chronic illness care including body image, fatigue, compliance, and the role of advanced practice nurses.

The document provides guidance for conducting a psychiatric history and mental state examination. It outlines 9 sections to cover in the psychiatric history: date, informant, source/reason for referral, patient identifying data, complaint, history of present illness, past illnesses, family history, and personal history. It then describes the components of a mental state examination including appearance/behavior, emotion, thinking, speech, perception, sensorium/cognition, insight, judgement, and impulsivity. Key details are provided on what to assess within each section/component.
The document discusses advance care planning (ACP) and problems with traditional approaches focusing on advance directives. It summarizes research showing many patients do not understand forms or hypothetical scenarios. Focus groups identified 5 themes to better prepare for medical decision-making: 1) Identify a surrogate, 2) Reflect on values and past experiences, 3) Discuss flexibility for surrogates, 4) Inform family/friends of decisions, and 5) Ask clinicians about treatment outcomes. The author developed an interactive website called PREPARE addressing these themes. A pilot study found it improved engagement in ACP behaviors among diverse older adults based on a new ACP survey measuring behavior change processes and actions.
The document is a newsletter from the Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida celebrating its 55th anniversary of providing mental health services in the region. It discusses the founding of the organization in 1957 by 29 members who recognized the lack of mental health resources.

The rules of the game and business models in primary preventionPREVE group
This document discusses business models and rules for primary disease prevention using information and communication technologies (ICT). It begins by defining business models and how they illustrate how organizations create and capture value. It emphasizes the importance of understanding customer needs and co-creating value. The document then discusses how the "rules of the game" or institutions shape what business models are possible. Finally, it applies this framework to consider what business models and rules could support ICT-enabled primary prevention, focusing on personalized approaches and changing rules to incentivize wellness. The challenges of transforming existing systems are also addressed.
This document discusses a conceptual framework for chronic disease management that positions the citizen as an active co-producer of their own health, enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs). It presents the citizen as co-producer model, which personalizes prevention and management of chronic diseases in a citizen-centered context using multilevel ICT modeling of health encapsulated in personal devices. This shifts from supply-side provider-driven systems to demand-side citizen-driven approaches, empowering citizens through access to personal data, information, and knowledge.
The document analyzes primary and secondary prevention strategies deployed in ongoing EU funded personal health systems projects, commercial products, websites, and public health campaigns. It finds that initiatives focus mainly on specific diseases or risk factors in isolation, with little interoperability. Secondary prevention experiences outnumber primary prevention initiatives. Successful business models are often simple consumer products rather than complex solutions for primary prevention. Most solutions involve individuals and sometimes healthcare systems, but reduced participation from other actors in a co-creator model of health.
pHealth - Lessons learned from products and projectPREVE group
This document discusses directions for ICT research in disease prevention. It summarizes lessons learned from existing ICT projects and products dealing with primary prevention. Many projects and websites focus on diet and physical activity as the leading preventable risk factors for diseases. Personalized risk assessment and defining individualized prevention strategies are challenging but important. Sustainable behavioral changes require a comprehensive psychological approach and support from social networks and ambient intelligence technologies that do not overly intrude on daily life.
This document provides directions for research on using information and communication technologies (ICT) to prevent disease. It outlines a process called PREVE for creating personalized health interventions. The PREVE process involves creating a personal profile to assess an individual's health behaviors, risks, motivations, and resources. Based on this profile, goals are set and interventions are brokered from a network of technologies and services. Progress towards goals is then evaluated. The document also discusses determinants of health behavior, intervention logic, and outlines an expert workshop to further the research.
ECHweek 2010 - Prevention fo Diseases: WHY, WHAT, HOWPREVE group
The document discusses directions for ICT research to support disease prevention by empowering citizens through personalized assistance. It describes the PREVE project which aims to identify ICT research directions for disease prevention by analyzing user needs, business models, and technologies through a series of workshops. The document also discusses how preventable diseases are associated with risk factors like diet, physical activity, and environment which can be addressed through profiling individuals and influencing their choice architectures.
This document outlines a model for citizens to become co-producers of their own health, especially regarding chronic diseases and prevention, enabled by information and communication technologies. It proposes a Personal Guidance System (PGS) that provides citizens with personalized data, information, knowledge, and decision support to navigate their health. The PGS would integrate inputs from various health providers and services. It conceptualizes an "eco-system" with three layers: a model library maintained by patient organizations, platforms for ICT services built by enterprises, and specified standards. The goal is evidence-based, context-aware decisions around modifiable risk factors and their connections to conditions to support long-term health navigation by informed citizens.
This document provides directions for ICT research in disease prevention. It discusses using ICT to enable citizens to be co-producers of their own health by providing health information, knowledge, and decision support. This includes developing personal guidance systems that integrate data, information, and knowledge from various sources to support citizens in preventing diseases through lifestyle choices and navigation of their healthy life trajectory. The document also discusses characterizing different types of medical knowledge and how decision support can draw on evidence to provide citizens information on reducing disease risk through behaviors like diet, exercise, and limiting risk factors.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health

Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
“Environmental sanitation means the art and science of applying sanitary, biological and physical science principles and knowledge to improve and control the environment therein for the protection of the health and welfare of the public”.The overall importance of sanitation are to provide a healthy living environment for everyone, to protect the natural resources (such as surface water, groundwater, soil ), and to provide safety, security and dignity for people when they defecate or urinate .Sanitation refers to public health conditions such as drinking clean water, sewage treatment, etc. All the effective tools and actions that help in keeping the environment clean come under sanitation. Sanitation refers to public health conditions such as drinking clean water, sewage treatment. All the effective tools and actions that help in keeping the environment clean and promotes public health is the necessary in todays life.

services regionally and internationally. There are some aspects of managing and doing marketing activities in order for
medical tourism to be feasible, in a region called as clustering in a region with main stakeholders groups includes Health
providers, Tourism cluster, etc. There are some related and affecting factors to be considered for the feasibility of medical
tourism within this study such as competitiveness, clustering, Entrepreneurship, SMEs. One of the growth phenomenon
is Health tourism in the city of Izmir and Turkey. The model of five competitive forces of Porter and The Diamond model
that is an economical model that shows the four main factors that affect the competitiveness of a nation and its industries
in this study. The short literature of medical tourism and regional clustering have been mentioned.
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.
Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

• Primary aims:
– Create or strengthen intention
– Increase abilities and remove barriers
• Consider the environmental contexts of the person
– Remove barriers and create facilitators
– Guide people with appropriate choice architectures
– Offer immediate, tangible benefits for healthy behaviors
Make changes on multiple levels through involving different actors
Identify co-creators of health and involve them in delivering
interventions (business models)
• Take advantage of trigger events in people’s lives
www.preve-eu.org
17. Targeting vs. tailoring
• Targeting: designing interventions for subgroups with
common characteristics
– Segmentation dimensions: health behavior, motivators and
resources
– Benefits: reach many individuals, fairly affordable
– Challenge: to provide interventions personalized enough
• Tailoring: fitting an intervention to meet the personal
needs and characteristics of a person rather than a group
– The most effective approach, but traditionally costly
• Persuasive technologies as a way of delivering guidance
for individuals
– affordable, accessible, personalized
www.preve-eu.org
18. Concluding Vision:
ICT enabled personalized interventions
• A Do-It-Yourself platform for profiling yourself and to
select interventions that match your profile
– Enables tailored interventions
• ICT could faciliate the execution of interventions
– Bring the co-creators, meaningful interpersonal relations and the
citizen together
– Provide personal guidance e.g. suggestions for healthy options,
reminders, practical tips, feedback
– Context awareness
