  1. Information Society Technologies Workprogramme 2001 HEALTH Action Line I.1.1 DG Information Society European Commission

  2. To allow all citizens, including those predisposed to diseases, to respond to risk factors whether at home work school or sport field through new generation of systems- User friendly and personalised interactive secure systems for health information and guidance- Portable secure systems for citizens to monitor their health I.1.1 Intelligent environment for citizen centred health management DG Information Society European Commission

ETC.

  5. FOCUS: • “Interactive secure and communicating systems for the home, workplace, schools, sport fields to provide citizens with general health information and guidance coupled with health monitoring devices. • Portable secure systems for citizens to monitor recommended lifestyle changes. • Interactive systems for producers and suppliers of healthy lifestyle related products and services (in domains such as nutrition and physical exercise) to take into account in their products or services, evidence based health guidelines.”
