Title:	PRECIOUS – PREventive Care Infrastructure based On Ubiquitous Sensing project
Project Description:	Healthier lifestyles – including more exercise, a better diet and reduced stress – are associated with the reduced risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, adopting healthier behaviours is a challenge! Advances in technology have made it easier for individuals to monitor lifestyle attributes (e.g. through smart phone applications and wearable technology); however, one of the main challenges is motivating people to make lifestyle changes before risk factors develop into life threatening and expensive diseases.
Funder information:	PREventive Care Infrastructure based On Ubiquitous Sensing (PRECIOUS) project is funded by European Union and part of eHealth and Ageing initiative.
