Unhealthy alimentary behaviours and physical inactivity habits are key risk factors for major non communicable diseases. Several researches demonstrate that juvenile obesity can lead to serious medical conditions, pathologies and have important psycho-social consequences. PEGASO is a multidisciplinary project aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among teenagers through assistive technology. The core of this project is represented by the ICT system, which allows providing tailored interventions to the users through their smartphones in order to motivate them. The novelty of this approach consists of developing a Virtual Individual Model (VIM) for user characterization, which is based on physical, functional and behavioural parameters opportunely selected by experts. These parameters are digitised and updated thanks to the user monitoring through smartphone; data mining algorithms are applied for the detection of activity and nutrition habits and this information is used to provide personalised feedback. The user interface will be developed using gamified approaches and integrating serious games to effectively promote health literacy and facilitate behaviour change.
不健康的饮食行为和缺乏身体活动的习惯是主要非传染性疾病的关键风险因素。多项研究表明，青少年肥胖会导致严重的健康问题、病症，并产生重要的心理社会后果。PEGASO是一个多学科项目，旨在通过辅助技术促进青少年的健康生活方式。该项目的核心是信息通信技术系统，它允许通过智能手机为用户提供量身定制的干预措施，以激励他们。这种方法的新颖之处在于开发了一种用于用户特征描述的虚拟个体模型（VIM），该模型基于专家适当选择的身体、功能和行为参数。由于通过智能手机对用户进行监测，这些参数被数字化并更新；数据挖掘算法用于检测活动和营养习惯，这些信息用于提供个性化反馈。用户界面将采用游戏化方法开发，并集成严肃游戏，以有效提高健康素养并促进行为改变。
