HealthyW8 aims to prevent obesity by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that combines interventions focused on diet, physical activity, and psycho-emotional aspects.
The project brings together a consortium of 24 public and private partners from nine European countries and is funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme.
The project considers obesity as a multifactorial phenomenon and takes into account individual, interpersonal, organizational, community factors, and public policy measures.
HealthyW8 aims to encourage healthier lifestyles from the early stages of life, decreasing the prevalence of obesity and reducing healthcare costs.
The interventions and digital solutions will enable healthcare providers to personalize services offered to individuals without high infrastructure and administrative costs.
The project emphasizes improving health literacy through goal personalization and nudging/gamification effects for motivation, with HDT support to ensure lasting and sustainable lifestyle changes.
HealthyW8 aims to implement a holistic approach to obesity prevention, using new tools for routine screening of overweight/obesity risks in daily practice. This will lead to a reduction in the public health burden and healthcare costs, as well as a potential increase in life expectancy.
