Abstract

Challenging teen-agers in their own fields and areas of interest, PEGASO – Fit 4 Future - aims at promoting a sustainable behavior change towards healthy lifestyles, with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. PEGASO is based on a mobile, social and networked gaming platform, considered as a powerful tool to actively engage the younger population in activities that will stimulate healthier choices in their daily lives to counterfeit sedentariness, overweight up to obesity. To support this action, in the platform, represented by the smartphone, three main functionalities are implemented: an individual & environmental monitoring through wearable devices, a feedback system for providing a feedback in terms of “health status” changes, the Social connectivity and engagement to support motivation.
