Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of fostering lifestyle changes towards healthier habits by means of coaching and supportive messages in the frame of a tailored users’ guidance. Starting from the importance of behavioural changes to foster wellbeing and disease prevention, the main aspects of tailored users’ guidance are reviewed, with a brief overview of the methods presented in the literature. The solution proposed in the EU FP7 Project SEMEOTICONS is then presented, discussing its advantages with respect to the state of the art.
