Behaviour Change e-Health Platform for Increasing Physical Activity in Children

该项目的目标是进行一项可行性研究，开发低成本的行为改变电子健康平台，以增加儿童的体育活动(PA)。由于久坐不动的生活方式，青少年肥胖率在过去几十年里急剧上升。鉴于成年人超重和肥胖对健康、生活质量和肥胖风险的不利影响，有效预防超重和肥胖仍然是紧迫的公共卫生优先事项。目前的肥胖预防计划缺乏循证证据，限制了它们的有效性，电子游乐场设备正在涌现，但缺乏个性化和互动性，而体力活动测量设备很少为儿童设计。Food Dues的目标是进行可行性研究，以评估商业潜力，并确定构建拟议的行为改变电子健康平台原型的可行性。

The objective of the project is to conduct a feasibility study of developing low cost behaviour change e-health platform for increasing physical activity (PA) in children. As a result of sedentary ways of life, youth obesity has risen dramatically over the past few decades. Effective prevention of overweight and obesity remains a pressing public health priority given the adverse impact on health, quality of life and risk of obesity in adulthood. Current obesity prevention programmes are not evidence-based, limiting their effectiveness, electronic playground equipments are emerging but lack personalisation and interactivity while physical activity measurement devices are rarely designed for children.The objective for Food Dudes is to conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the commercial potential and determine the feasibility of building a prototype of the proposed behaviour change e-health platform.
