Health problems of the future
Play in the development of modern civilization diseases, especially in the Western world, risk factors play a central role, which are caused by physical inactivity and unhealthy diet. On the one hand the quality of life by these diseases is often limited and the other, the health system more cumbersome, which results in considerable measure to cost increases in health care. The aim must be, therefore, any reduction in risk factors.
Modern information technology systems can make a significant contribution, which is geared towards the traditional approach, which mainly provides for specific measures for specific target groups without the local living environment into account.
Vision for health applications
In the living environment of the future of the people more and more potentially curable devices will be surrounded. In addition to the traditional household appliances will also come different sensors. Some aspects of smart home networking and sensor technology to assist the residents in the long term health. caused not least by the demographic change, is the active involvement of as many citizens in preventive applications, a growing job field. The paradigm shift from supply towards a healthy patient population it refers all layers of the population and all generations with a. Your own four walls provide a protected space especially if preventive approaches individuals can not reach.
Some aspects such as wellness and lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle (diet, Nutrition Facts), including consideration of nutritional principles play an important role, since they are relatively independent of time and place, both indoors and in nature take place while can be implemented individually. The way this reaction is strongly determined by their own life and health objectives, which may from generation to generation, but often differ between the sexes and between city and country. It should not be forgotten that there are factors that may have an active participation in the future based on wellness and preventive lifestyle habits, or at least partially through. Certain groups feel excluded from the objective or subjective, outdoor activities and want or can not use it in the form in which they are now mainly based.
For the project from these and other reasons, the scenario of a intergenerational approach is the focus. Several generations in one house and want to actively use the resources (equipment) and means (methods) of health and prevention, and these are personalized and adapted specifically to the needs of different generations. The reaction takes place with a number of virtual assistants, who assist the user in the context of prevention. By the SHA framework already have several basic functions that enable the function of the complex services.
