The Future of Health: Lifestyle Medicine

90%的可预防疾病是由生活方式引起的。国民保健制度的建立是为了通过药物或手术干预来治疗疾病。由于大多数慢性疾病源于生活方式问题，因此实施密集的生活方式干预更为合适（和有效）——这是一个迅速发展的领域，称为生活方式医学（LM）。LM是一种循证临床护理，通过以人为本的技术支持行为改变，以改善心理健康、社会联系、健康饮食、身体活动、睡眠和尽量减少有害物质和行为。大多数人**不了解自己的健康状况，因此**无法对自己的健康或生活做出**明智的**决定。目前市场上还没有产品可以让个人完全了解和跟踪他们的生活方式健康，而健康医生（TWD）试图改变这一点。该项目由Innovate UK资助，将生产第一个以消费者为中心的LM仪表盘。这个**直观的**仪表板将为个人提供**预防和自我管理生活方式疾病**的能力，并提供完全**个性化的**用户体验。消费者将能够看到他们的各种生活方式健康因素，未来的健康风险，与他们的生活方式医生联系，并制定和跟踪他们的密集生活方式计划。这代表了改善生活方式健康的黄金标准方法，TWD是一个经验丰富的团队，专门从事这一领域，他们最适合为英国人口创建可扩展的数字解决方案。该仪表板最初将出售给企业，企业将为每位员工支付订阅费。这种产品的潜在市场很大，仅在英国每年的价值就接近5亿英镑。这不仅会减少NHS的积压和压力，还会使人们更健康，提高他们在工作场所的生产力，同时减少他们工作的企业的健康成本（例如，减少病假）。**英国大多数40岁以下的人将活到100岁左右。因此，我们必须**迅速**改变我们对待健康的方式，并开始意识到我们**的生活方式，而不是我们**治疗**疾病的方式，是本世纪最重要的健康预测因素。活好今天，为了更美好的明天。保持健康。

90% of all preventable disease is caused by lifestyle.The NHS is set up to treat disease reactively with medical or surgical intervention. With most chronic diseases stemming from lifestyle issues, it is therefore much more appropriate (and effective) to implement intensive-lifestyle interventions - a field rapidly growing called Lifestyle Medicine (LM).LM is evidence-based clinical care that supports behaviour change through person-centred techniques to improve mental wellbeing, social connection, healthy eating, physical activity, sleep and minimisation of harmful substances and behaviours. Most people **do not understand their own health,** and therefore cannot make **informed** decisions about their health or life. There are currently no products on the market which allow individuals to completely understand and track their lifestyle health and The Wellbeing Doctors (TWD) seek to change that. This project, funded by Innovate UK, will produce the **first consumer-focused LM Dashboard**. This **intuitive** dashboard will provide individuals with the ability to **prevent and self manage lifestyle disease**, with a completely **personalised** user experience. Consumers will be able to see their various lifestyle health factors, future health risks, liaise with their Lifestyle Doctor and create and track their intensive lifestyle plans. This represents the gold standard approach to improving lifestyle health, and TWD are an experienced team specialising in this field who are best placed to create a scalable digital solution for the UK population. This dashboard will initially be sold to corporates who will pay a subscription fee for each staff member. The potential market for this product is large - worth just under £500 million per year in the UK alone. Not only will this **reduce NHS backlogs and pressure**, but it will also enable people to be (and feel) healthier, increasing their productivity in workplaces, whilst reducing the health-cost to the business they work for (reducing days off sick, for example). **Most people in the UK under the age of 40 will live to around 100**. We must therefore **rapidly** change the way we approach health and start realising that the **way that we live**, not the way that we **treat** disease, is the most important health predictor of this century. Live well today, for a brighter tomorrow. Stay healthy.
