Abstract :
A personal health and lifestyle platform helps individuals maintain a personal health and lifestyle record and obtain personalized, lifestyle-related advice to improve their health by changing their daily habits. The platform leverages the data stored in a typical personal health record, augmenting it with environmental and sensor data and enabling the monitoring and analysis of an individual´s habits. Sharing habits and advice with doctors and friends empowers individuals to become wellness coproducers and leads to a personal health and lifestyle record that is much more useful to the individual maintaining it.
