In contemporary society, non-communicable diseases linked to unhealthy lifestyles, such as obesity, are on the rise with a major impact on global deaths. Prevention is the new frontier, promising to increase life expectancy and quality, while reducing costs related to healthcare. The PEGASO project developed a mobile ecosystem where the digital Companion aims at empowering teenagers in the adoption of healthy lifestyles. The pilot study conducted in three European countries (Spain, UK and Italy) shows a good acceptance of the system and that teenagers are keen to use mobile technology to improve their lifestyle, although wearable devices did not engage the young users.
