THEOBESITY PROBLEM
• One of the greatest health challenges of the 21st century
• Has tripled in many European countries since 1980
• Childhood obesity already affects more than one in three school-aged children in Brazil, Spain,
Portugal, and others
• In Brazil, childhood obesity has increased by 600% over the past forty years

IOT
IoT-based solutions aspire to provide a strategic component in
supporting the creation of an ecosystem, able to dynamically answer
and prevent the challenges faced by the health and social care
systems.

HYPOTHESIS
The IoT, combined with medical experience, has a significant
potential to correct eating and physical activity behaviors in an
earlier development stage, and prevent the obesity evolution while
decreasing the overall healthcare costs…

agreement No. 777082. Call EUB-02-2017 IoT Pilots
OBJECTIVE
Provide an IoT-based personalized gamefied coaching solution (mHealth), guiding
children to adopt healthy eating and physical activity behavior.
The IoT network will allow us to observe child activity patterns of daily living, health
evolution, physiological & behavioral parameters and environmental data. All this
information combined with medical patterns will allow us to provide a customized
obesity coaching plan.

SPECIFICOBJECTIVES
Challenge 1: Collect all relevant health, physiological and context information from different
sources creating an IoT network, in an easy and transparent way, and then enrich it semantically to
be processed by intelligent algorithms. WE ARE HERE
Challenge 2: Develop a context-aware intelligent algorithms to understand the information, make
decisions, and dynamically personalize and adapt the obesity coaching to the child.
Challenge 3: Empowerment and guidance to the children and young individuals to help them
modify their eating and physical activity behavior towards personalized present goals (habits
determine life-long preferences and health behaviors).
