The Cocktail Analysis en conjunto con la red global de investigación UX Fellows llevamos a cabo un estudio en 15 países, con la finalidad de explorar si las motivaciones para mantener y optimizar las capacidades mentales y físicas, así como la salud y el bienestar personal difieren entre países y culturas.
De igual manera, se puso foco en entender qué impacto tuvo la pandemia de COVID-19 y las restricciones asociadas sobre las actitudes y la relación de las personas respecto a la salud.
Sedentary lifestyle is an issue of great concern because of its deleterious health implications in
developed and developing countries. It is associated with limited physical activity, prolonged sitting at work, in
cars, communities, work sites, schools, homes and public places have been restricted in ways that minimize
human movement and muscular activities. People sit more and move less. This shift from a physically
demanding life to reduced physical activities have exposed people to high risk of developing various health
conditions such as obesity, hypertension, cardiac disorders, vitamin deficiencies, cancers to mention but a few.
They are associated with unhealthy lifestyles which are preventable. This paper therefore discussed the concept
of sedentary lifestyle, factors that enhance it and the various health implications associated with this unhealthy
behaviour. The paper concluded that individuals, groups and communities should make concerted efforts to
engage in physical activities, modify their dietary habits and avoid other risky behaviours that affect their health
negatively. Suggestions made by the paper include among others that work/public places should be structured in
a way that enhance active movement and recreational activities

The Modern Lifestyle changes due to Imitation and Covid 19 lifestyle changes is due to sudden compulsion. Discussed how to minimize affect on health (physical, mental, social, occupational etc.)
After two years of seeing people become ill and face a variety of difficulties, the world is slowly but surely healing. Among them are a slew of health and wellness movements inspired by a well-being revolution fueled by the Covid-19 epidemic. Being as healthy as possible should be translated into behaviors and habits. We consider all of the things we can do to live healthier lives, which range from eating sustainable foods and using wellness tools to prioritizing mental health – all of which are at the forefront of the issue of one’s health.

American Heart Association Lifestyle Recommendations to Reduce Obesity
Yuritza Medina
Chamberlain College of Nursing
NR709 Project and Practicum IV
Summer 2022
Abstract Past tense
The prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyle complications are increasing at alarming rates, representing a common but preventable cause of severe medical complications like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and early mortality. This common but chronic condition has been for a long time a public health concern and social determinant. The integrative review focused on how the American Heart Association (AHA) Diet and Lifestyle recommendations and the Fitbit app are used as innovative solutions to reduce obesity in adult patients. The Fitbit app offers a unique opportunity to enhance the efficacy of weight loss plans, as it is used to track activity, monitor steps, heart rate, energy expenditure, sleep, and sedentary behavior.
Research Methodology: A systematic review was conducted to identify research articles completed in the preceding 4-5 years centered on obesity care, diet, physical activity, activity trackers, and lifestyle implications. The databases searched were Chamberlain Library, PubMed, and CINHAL.
Results and Discussion: Initial searches yielded over 2000 articles, of which 45 were chosen and examined because they fit the integrative review's theme. The 15 papers most relevant to the PICOT question were studied in further detail and appraised using the Johns Hopkins Evidence Appraisal table. The studies reported positive physical activity outcomes. What were the key themes?
Conclusions and Further Recommendations:This systematic review supported the effectiveness of the AHA Diet and Lifestyle recommendations to prevent and reduce obesity, and clinical use is recommended. Fitbit app provides new ways to improve physical activity habits, and the easy availability of electronic devices may enhance their generalizability use.
Keywords: Obesity care; Obesity complications; Lifestyle recommendations; Obesity management; Physical activity intervention using Fitbit activity trackers.
Dedication
In dedication to my family for their steadfast support of this project; their cooperation means a lot to me. To my husband Armando, thank you for your love, understanding, and patience during this time. I credit my achievement to all of you for your unwavering love and belief in me.
Acknowledgments
First, I must acknowledge the help of all my professors from Chamberlain University, who inspired, encouraged, and supported me throughout the DNP program.

Introduction
Obesity is a health situation whereby the affected person(s) has fats in excessive level in the body. Some individuals are unaware of the growing incidences or number of cases related to the obesity. In the United States, there are more than 70 percent of men and 60 percent women in adult population that are overweight. The risks that are associated with obesity include the development of life-threatening diseases like heart failure, cancer, hypertension gall bladder, osteoarthritis, and the category II of diabetes (Zhao, 2013).
This paper, therefore, aims at looking at the literature review of the past studies on adult obesity. In this study, data is collected from different previous studies that have discussed adult obesity. Areas of the present research and coming research on adult obesity and its complications are also addressed in this paper.
Literature Reviews
According to the study by Goededcke and his colleague, in 7786 sampled women of ages between nineteen to ninety-five years in South Africa, the black females recorded a higher prevalent of obesity and overweight.Females of different ancestry were at 52 percent, females with the white complex at 49.2 percent while the women of Indian origin were at 42.8 percent. There was higher Body Mass Index among the women residing in the towns as compared to the women living in rural places. It was noted that the Body Mass Index increased as one age. The overall rate of obesity was higher in men (29 percent) and women (56 percent) (Goededcke, 2010).
This prevalence is higher as compared to other nations in Africa especially females because 30 percent of women in South Africa of age 30 to 59 have cases of obesity. North Africa also has a higher prevalence of obesity as South Africa
.
In his cross sectional study using 1430 rural and urban individuals from Luo, Maasai, and Kamba females of ages 17 to 68 years, Christensen and his colleagues found out that there was an increase in the inside and under skin fats, fat in the area of the arms and the waist circumference as one gets older. This was common among the Maasai females as well as in individuals in the urban areas. The incidence of the overweight BMI (≥ 25) and obesity BMI (≥ 30) was greater among people dwelling in town as compared to those in villages. The rate of the overweight was at 39.8 and 15.8 percent of the city and community areas respectively. Residents from cities recorded a higher rate of abdominal viscera and under skin fat thickness. High prevalence of overweight was due to the accumulation of fats among the Maasai (Christensen, 2011).
Report from the World Health Organization indicates that China, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, as well as Bangladesh have higher obesity prevalence. The pathological obesity in India is at five
percent of ...

Desde hace más de una década, venimos analizando el consumo audiovisual en España
identificando de manera evolutiva los principales cambios experimentados por
dispositivos, plataformas y consumidor.
En la edición previa, pre-pandémica, se evidenciaba como:
• La Smart TV crecía como referencia en el hogar a la hora de ver contenidos, y la
conectividad del televisor, una realidad en expansión.
• El pago por ver contenidos ganaba peso.
Para entender el camino que estamos andando hay saber
de donde venimos. El Observatorio de Sostenibilidad que
arrancamos en 2019 desde The Cocktail, nos da una
valiosa visión de los cambios en la percepción,
comportamiento y vivencias hacia la sostenibilidad.
¿Qué cambios se han dado en estos tres años tan
marcados por la experiencia pandémica? ¿Hay una
disposición real al cambio y a asumir un coste extra?
Éste informe trata, de manera sintética, de dar contexto a
los cambios en la percepción y comportamiento ante este
fenómeno, y entender como se declina en 4 sectores
principales: energético, financiero, e-commerce y
movilidad.
Este estudio nos permite identificar los aspectos más relevantes en la transformación del mercado bancario tras el periodo de pandemia y revisar su impacto en el modelo de relación que tienen los clientes con su o sus bancos.

El objetivo general de este estudio es identificar los aspectos más relevantes en la
transformación del mercado bancario tras el periodo de pandemia y revisar su impacto y
relación que tienen los clientes con su o sus bancos.
Tras dos años de pandemia, el estudio muestra una perspectiva de los efectos que se han
dado en la gestión financiera de los particulares en su interacción con la oferta de
productos y servicios de los principales jugadores, así como con los nuevos players: las
Fintechs y los Neobancos.
Desde Google y The Cocktail Analysis venimos tratando de entender el impacto del COVID en las actitudes y comportamientos del consumidor de manera recurrente desde los primeros momentos de la pandemia, bajo el supuesto de que en este contexto donde la vida es cambiante, los hábitos y emociones de la población también lo son, y por tanto, su relación con las marcas y el consumo, también.
Cuando parece finalizar la crisis sanitaria creemos necesario estudiar al consumidor con una doble mirada: su vivencia en este momento y el impacto a medio plazo que ha tenido en su comportamiento de consumo la experiencia pandémica.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Health, fitness and wellbeing are trending topics all around the world. Achieving a better health status has never been of more interest.
The health, wellbeing and fitness markets are growing and with the current global COVID-19 situation during which people must self-isolate,
self-guided health optimisation is soaring.
The impetus for this research is the desire to explore whether the motivations for maintaining and optimising one’s mental and physical
health and personal wellbeing differ between countries and cultures. We are equally interested to understand what impact, if any, COVID-19
and the associated restrictions has had on people’s attitudes towards this topic. We wanted to investigate whether as a result of the changes
in the way we live during this time, people’s health behavior has changed and how it might differ between countries and cultures.
3. 3Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
We conducted 128 remote in-depth interviews with participants across 15 different countries:
As we were interested in discussing health, we recruited participants with already established health goals that they were working towards
(e.g. fitness, mental health, stress reduction, better sleep, longevity or losing weight). The participants were aged 18 to 58 years and either use,
or have considered the use of, apps or trackers that assist with achieving health goals.

4. 4Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
A rather holistic definition of health was identified across participating countries
Participants in all countries view health holistically, encompassing both mental and physical health. Being in good health means being able
to function every day, being unrestricted by chronic issues, sleeping well and eating healthily. Whilst it is a factor, for our participants health
is not just the absence of disease or illness. This aligns well with the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) definition of health which states,
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Only the social
aspect of the WHO’s definition was not mentioned by our participants. Not surprisingly, good health was highly valued – something that was
especially emphasised by participants in Italy and Poland.
"Health is a mix of everything. It’s not just a
checkup, it deals with your way of life, the balance
you find between professional and private life,
your physical and your mental health"
Bianca (36), IT

6. 6Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Whilst the range of physical activities our participants engaged in
and their intensity varied, there were surprisingly little cultural
differences in their intention and ability to live a healthy lifestyle in
a pre-COVID world.
Regardless of which country they call home, our interviewees all aspire
to a healthy lifestyle, which meant setting personal goals that allowed
them to strike a good balance between physical and mental wellbeing.
Highest on the list of these personal goals was being physically active
and having a balanced diet. Physical health and activity were seen as
significant determinants of mental health.
"Health for me means not to have physical
weaknesses, no pain, no negative thoughts,
basically living without constraints."
Daniel (36), DE

8. 8Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
In particular, the main health goals mentioned across all cultures were
maintaining or losing excessive weight, doing regular exercise, getting
enough sleep and maintaining a healthy diet.
Some responses that stood out included our UK and Australian
participants being more likely to comment on reducing anxiety as a
means to improving mental health, whilst our participants in Russia
and Poland emphasised the prohibitive expense of visiting a doctor as
a motivator for maintaining good health.
"I used to have chronic fatigue. That was a massive
wake up call, and catalyst in my life. I want to be
vibrant, real, and enjoy my life."
Jane (44), UK
9. 9Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Coronavirus restrictions were seen to produce both positive and negative effects
We identified two distinct reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, that was typically attributable to personal circumstances and disposition rather
than location.
1. Due to social distancing and working from home, some participants felt that they had more free time and less stress than usual, thus finding
more time for cooking, exercising and discovering new hobbies. Those rather positive effects were more likely to be commented upon by
participants in France, Italy, Spain and the UK.
2. Conversely, for others, the shutdown associated with COVID-19 caused more stress and uncertainty. Participants in the USA and Russia were
more likely to comment on finding it more difficult to disconnect from work than before and feeling overwhelmed by the dual burdens of
managing household responsibilities and work.
10. 10Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
The pandemic impacted participants' approach to achieving health related goals
As a result of widespread gym closures, the restrictions on using equipment in parks, the shut-down of organised sports and group physical
activities, people had to find new ways and places to stay active. This typically translated to exercising at home which was a novel experience
for many participants. Yoga classes, gym workouts, group running, swimming at the pool, bootcamp in the park, all had to be replaced with
things people could either do at home, or outside within whatever local restrictions were in place.
Jakub from Poland had to stop running outdoors and found himself exercising at home:
"At first, when I gave up my outdoor activities
overnight it started to cause frustration. After a
week I got tired of the lack of exercise, so I started
looking for something I could do at home and did
exercises from the phone. It was something I had not
done before."
Jakub (36), PL
11. 11Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Sabrina from Germany had to give up her football training and found
several alternatives indoors and outdoors:
"Now that I cannot go to my football training
anymore, I have to exercise at home and go cycling.
I bought a new bike, weights and reactivated my
Freeletics account."
Sabrina (24), DE
12. 12Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Finding the motivation to exercise or train alone at home was difficult in the beginning for many participants.
Suzannah from Australia told us that the coronavirus restrictions resulted in a reduced amount of activity due to a lack of motivation or
because the equipment was limited.
"I am spending a lot less time on things than I did pre-COVID. I am a social person and enjoy that environment.
Without that, the motivation is reduced at home. I wanted to buy some equipment when the lockdown
occurred, but the stores ran out."
Suzannah (20), AU
13. 13Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
"I used to train the whole week, now I train 5 days
per week, because it's not the same going cycling
outdoors than indoor cycling, besides is harder
outdoors."
Vivian (27), CO
Vivian from Colombia had to change her cycling training from 7 days a
week of cycling outdoors to home training with a bike roller:
14. 14Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Participants in Germany, Italy and Australia were more likely to
comment that the intensity of workouts was reduced as a result of
exercising alone, they were missing the motivation of matching what
others are doing in a gym class or the guidance they'd receive from
a personal trainer or coach.
"Physical effort is dramatically lower than in the past.
I don't sweat from the effort, but because I exercise
at home."
Roberto (45), IT

Interestingly, participants in the UK reported a different experience due to the nature of the government restrictions in place there.
Many said they had become fitter as they had the time to prioritise their physical wellbeing and had to change their training strategies.
Due to the restricted amount of time they were allowed to spend outdoors, many were running or cycling at a higher intensity than usually,
as they felt the need to make the session count more.
"It’s definitely more intense exercise because
I can’t leave the house as often, so I’d go for a
shorter, more intense bike ride."

People are missing the social aspect of exercising
For the majority of participants, the social interaction made possible
through exercise, or simply being able to compare their performance
to others, is an important part of their experience and motivation.
There is considerable frustration at having to exercise alone, or just
with family members, this was particularly the case for people who are
involved in team sports.
"When I do the workouts by myself, I sometimes don't
push myself enough as compared to when I do it with
friends. You kinda wanna like slack off a bit."
Syahrizad (26), SG
19. 19Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
"Exercising home alone is so boring, it's difficult to get
started and motivated. The role of exercise company
is to motivate and support, and to share thoughts and
socialize. Both support each other."

The limited range of workout options along with the lack of
equipment and space at home are the biggest issues facing
those wanting to stay physically active
Brigitte from Germany misses the advantages of going to the gym:
"I really miss going to the gym, the whole routine
including the way there, the long shower and the
sauna. Exercising at home just does not have the
same wellness effect. Only in the gym I can
disconnect from everyday life."
Brigitte (41), DE
22. 22Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Physical health is seen as a key determinant of mental health
Participants from all countries saw a strong connection between
mental and physical health, with exercise described as playing a key
role in achieving and maintaining good mental health. Meditation, yoga
and breathing techniques, were also often mentioned as contributors
to good mental health. Apps were instrumental for some participants
in learning about meditation, yoga and breathing techniques.
"When I do enough exercise, I feel mentally good
as well."
Marina (33), DE
23. 23Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
"Exercise helps me release the energy of that
worrying (sweat it out).”

Amount and quality of sleep is being affected by COVID-19 restrictions
Techniques employed to promote good sleep included deep breathing, exercising in the evening to promote tiredness and the use of mobile
phone apps.
The impact of COVID-19 restrictions on sleep, and perceived sleep quality, varied across participants. Some of our participants reported
sleeping more because they weren't commuting to work, whilst others mentioned getting to sleep was more problematic due to the disruption
to their normal patterns and routines. This was sometimes compounded by a sense of anxiety induced by pandemic related news – this was
especially mentioned in Spain, Mexico and Colombia.
"Now it has gotten worse and I don’t have time for anything. I have no routines at all and neither do I have
a good sleep.”
Alejandro (26), ES
27. 27Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
One positive of the lockdown seems to be improved
nutrition
Participants from all countries commented that during the lockdown
they felt more in control over what they were eating, typically leading
to better food related choices. The ability to make better choices was
perceived to be the result of a few different factors: having more time
to plan and prepare meals at home; being more conscious of what
they were buying and eating (due to limited grocery store trips); and
because they were eating out less - where they were more likely to
choose unhealthy options.
"I am able to eat healthier and I am able to control
when I eat a lot more. Like during school I don't get a
chance to eat lunch or breakfast because I am running
around in the morning."
Lizzy (32), US
28. 28Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Some Russian participants reported that they were less hungry and lost weight because they felt too nervous to eat due to the pandemic and
the uncertainty it created. Countering this was some people feeling that they snacked more whilst working from home – mainly in Germany,
France and Singapore.

Technology can play a significant role in optimising health
In every country, fitness trackers or smartwatches were reported to be
commonly used to collect data and benchmark activity either whilst
engaging in specific activities like running, cycling and swimming or for
more passive pursuits such as step counting, and floors climbed during
the day.
Distance, heart rate and calories burnt were the most used functions
of those devices, and typically the primary motivation for their
purchase. Other features such as sleep and nutrition tracking were
considered less relevant, particularly if it meant manually entering data
which meant extra work. Apps specifically designed for activities like
running, cycling, yoga or fitness workouts were also frequently used in
all countries.
"I have some apps for guiding my meditations and
following up yoga routines for beginners, I prefer
those specialised apps instead of YouTube videos"

For many participants, counting the number of steps throughout a day
provides good motivation to move more and sit less during the day.
However, some participants mentioned they have stopped doing so as
the limits on their movements during COVID-19 restrictions means they
are disheartened by the reduced number of steps they are able to take.
"I haven’t used my smartwatch for a while,
because I don't want to see "70 steps" on the screen."
Irmak (30), TR
37. 37Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
When it came to devices other than a smartphone for tracking activity,
watches by Garmin were popular amongst participants in Singapore
and Australia whilst Fitbit devices were particularly popular in the US,
UK, Germany, Portugal and Spain.
"The Fitbit wasn't very expensive for what I wanted, it
helps setting goals and motivating, it's a good device
for monitoring and it connects with my smartphone."

A digital personal assistant could assist with achieving health goals
When exploring the potential role of digital assistants in achieving and maintaining health goals, participants expressed a preference
for a technology that was able to view health holistically, rather than focus on a single aspect such as physical activity.
The optimal implementation would connect across multiple devices and inputs and provide contextual, personalised observations and
suggestions without being too intrusive.
German, Turkish and Russian participants however mentioned their doubt about a digital assistant or device being able to track every person’s
individual health properly and providing reliable data.
"One to bring them all together would be great, but difficult to achieve. If they could feed into health section on
your phone, and bathroom scales, it would be great!"
Kerry (47), UK
"I don't think those devices are intelligent enough to track everything as good as we expect it, because every
person is different. Those devices would need to be tested scientifically before I believe that they really give
an added value."
Aleksandar (32), DE
40. 40Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
"How will it work and how will know me? It needs to guess my routine to be smart and the data should
be reliable."
Ömer (27), TR
Participants from the USA and Poland were more positive about the concept and emphasised the advantage and practicality of using only
one device.
"I'd prefer to integrate a tool, we already have a lot of
gadgets, it would be much easier to make a habit of
using it if it was one device"
Bartosz (30), PL

to fumble around and then you can streamline

Cultural difference seems to influence perceptions about
COVID-19 contact tracing apps
Willingness to use a COVID-19 contact tracing app differed between
countries, with trust in authorities and concerns about the
management of personal data the main influences. Australia and
Singapore were the only countries represented in this study where
such an app is already in use, so for most participants this was a
theoretical rather than practical discussion.
Generally, many participants were in favor of the concept of such an
app and indicated a willingness to install and use it. However, doing so
would be dependent on a clear understanding of what data is being
collected, how and where it will be stored and who will have access to
it. Given the perceived personal nature of the data such an app would
collect, a certain level of trust in the local government was indicated as
a necessary prerequisite.
There was strong support for such an app amongst participants from
Finland, Italy, USA and Colombia.
"I hope that the app will be safe to use and no
problems regarding data privacy will occur. I feel
that the app should be taken into use if needed."
Sanna (39), FI
43. 43Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Participants from Russia viewed the concept of such an app less favourably. Most participants were extremely resistant to the idea of their
government "interfering" with their personal health information, expressing little trust in this kind of app.
Olga from Russia told us:
“If my friends started using this app - I'd have seriously reconsidered them being my friends”
Olga (34), RU
44. 44Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
In Australia and Singapore, the app is already in use, but most participants were not convinced of its benefits, as the practical implementation
of data collection is not considered realistic.
This quote from Chris also highlights the importance of clearly communicating what data is being recorded and how and when it will be
shared, as his interpretation of how the app will work does not align with the reality of how the app actually works.
"It looks like the biggest waste of time. The person
who has COVID 19 must have their phone on, with
bluetooth on, and the app on to let people know
if they come into contact with them. If there is
an infected person, they would want to remain
anonymous, so what is the point of the app?"
Chris (35), AU
45. 45Global Health and Wellbeing Study 2020
Whilst technological health support is already embraced around the world, the pandemic seems to have
made this ground even more fertile
Our findings demonstrate that technology has been instrumental in keeping most participants active during these recent difficult
times, whether through features that allow them to compare their own performances, their performance with that of others or
demonstrating how they can exercise in their home environment.
Assistant solutions to attain and maintain health and wellbeing that deliver a holistic perspective on one's health and integrate
across multiple devices are most likely to succeed. Given that many participants also reflected on the importance of social
interaction in maintaining motivation levels for activity and exercise, technology also has a role to play in connecting people who
are not able to be in the same place but are exercising at the same time. Ultimately, any technology of this type needs to offer a
personalised experience that is low maintenance in terms of manual data entry, is trustworthy and seamlessly integrates with an
individual's existing devices and encourages without becoming annoying.
