ARDHealth

The main goal of this proposal is to empower people to monitor and improve their health using personal data and technology assisted coaching.

Developments in technology have enabled the empowerment of people for self-care more than ever before. Smart phones and tablets and quantified self-style self-monitoring wellness devices are commonplace. Wellness oriented solutions often suffer from short-term use due to quickly diminishing interest from their users and from lack of possibilities to utilise them in conjunction with clinical healthcare treatments. Patients are left alone with their problems in between therapy or treatment, and the possibly collected personal data is left unused. Insights in psychology and gamification allow for approaches to keep people engaged and achieve the desired health impact.
