Abstract

A method and a system for teaching and guiding an individual and changing the lifestyle and in building up a health or healthier behaviour includes the step of making a basic assessment of the individual and of defining at least one program to which the individual should attend on the basis of this assessment. The program includes at least teaching, guiding and actively involving the individual and individually gathering personal objective information represented by at least one health indicator. The individual is taught in accordance with a specific learning program in view of understanding a relationship between the objective information and a phenomenon or symptom caused by pathology or functional deficiency. The individual is further taught and guided to understand the effect of specific behaviour and lifestyle on the pathology or functional deficiency. Finally, actions are identified to be taken for changing the lifestyle and for building up a healthier behaviour in view of reducing health problems or health risks.

CDC health people 2000 midcourse review, the determining factor of health related to lifestyle is 47%, related to environmental issues is 17% and to genetic issues is 25%. The contribution from medical services is only 11%. There is thus a major trend of lifestyle chronic diseases caused by improper lifestyle and living environment in the industrial countries. [000...
