Ubiquitous lifestyle management system to empower their users to manage, in a multidimensional integrated way, the daily lifestyle choices to tackle selected wellness/care objectives of their patients and customers
Researchers from the Center for Biomedical Technology (CTB) of the Technical University of Madrid and Colorado Center for Health &Wellness of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Denver (USA), has developed HEALTH-mate, a comprehensive platform designed to manage personal health promotion, prevention and care plans under the shift to risk based payment methods. The solution enable customers to: 1) configure lifestyle objectives, 2) be aware of the overall wellness status of the users, 3) integrate diverse biosensing data coming from the multiple sensors/apps of smartphones and wearable devices so that can be manageable for the creation of personal health prevention plans and 4) seamlessly overcome personal barriers.
By means of providing the information, motivation and abilities enhanced in ways not sufficiently well integrated within daily activities so far, to boost their positive perception and their satisfaction from healthy daily choices.
Health-mate is an integrated management platform consisting in a cloud-platform (four basic engines) and several end-user personal devices.
The cloud-platform include: a wellness assessment (providing an objective measurement of people’s overall wellness status); a barrier assessment (detecting obstacles preventing people from fully developing healthy lifestyles); a wellness program manager (providing actions and personalized wellness tracks to reach objectives); a profiling engine (for discovering new key knowledge about users); a data transformation engine (to get data from any device).
End-user personal devices consist of smartphone-based Body Area Networks (BAN), involving all their built-in sensors and features, together with any possible external sensor attached to them.
