Healthy lifestyle is essential in prevention of chronic diseases. However, people need motivation and support to achieve and to maintain behavior changes. Moreover, effective behavior change support should be personalized to individual's unique characteristics, needs and context. This paper presents a blueprint of an ICT system, which is able to provide holistic, dynamic support for healthy behaviors, engaging also various co-producers in the health journey of a person. Three main concepts in the system are Virtual Individual, which maintains the user's personal profile, PGS-Mall, which collects various health and well-being services into one place, and HealthGuides, which support healthy choices in everyday life and coordinate the interactions between the user, the system, and other co-producers of health.
健康的生活方式对于预防慢性病至关重要。然而，人们需要动力和支持来实现并维持行为改变。此外，有效的行为改变支持应根据个人的独特特征、需求和背景进行个性化定制。本文提出了一个信息通信技术（ICT）系统的蓝图，该系统能够为健康行为提供全面、动态的支持，同时让各类共同生产者参与到个人的健康之旅中。该系统中的三个主要概念分别是：维护用户个人资料的虚拟个体（Virtual Individual）；将各种健康和幸福服务整合于一处的PGS商城（PGS-Mall）；以及在日常生活中支持健康选择并协调用户、系统和其他健康共同生产者之间互动的健康指南（HealthGuides）。
