On Oct. 11, the Fit Tech Box attended the Everyone in Motion! public festival, where we celebrated the 40th anniversary of Movement Sciences at the Forum in Groningen.

It was a beautiful and well-attended event where we used the FitTech Box to introduce visitors to the possibilities of health watches. Many of them tried the watches themselves, experiencing the impact of unhealthy lifestyle habits. Our partner, the HANNN, also joined us with the Smartfloor. With this mat, we were able to measure how a person walks and identify the risk of falling.

With both the health watches and the walking mat, we showed how smart technology can help us in health prevention and improving lifestyle. It was great to see a lot of interest in this among the visitors, which led to inspiring conversations.

In short, a successful afternoon for Healthy Living as a Service and the HANNN!

A quick tour of lifestyle interventions - BRAVO!

Since February 2023, WP5 PhD student Maxwell and his team analyzed health interventions targeting BRAVO areas (exercise, smoking, drinking, nutrition, stress). Physical activity, mental health and nutrition received particular attention, while interventions for alcohol/drug use and smoking were scarcer. Future programs could use wearable sensors for personalized approaches. They discovered seven unique lifestyle interventions, ranging from lifestyle coaching to sleep pattern regulation.
