Abstract

Health promotion represents the process to empower the citizens to improve their health lifestyle and to achieve higher levels of wellness. The health models focus on helping people to prevent illnesses through their behavior, and on looking at ways in which a person can pursue better health or ideal health. We report on a project aiming to propose a new model for wellness improvement, consisting in actions to be performed to encourage individuals to become aware of their wellness and develop healthier habits.
