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. |
