ABSTRACT
Physical activity (PA) is considered one of the most important factors for the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Mobile technologies offer several opportunities for supporting PA, especially if combined with psychological aspects, model-based reasoning systems and personalized human computer interaction. This still on-going research aims at developing a scalable framework that targets PA promotion among both clinical and non-clinical population, exploiting Bayesian Networks and Expert Systems to characterize and predict qualitative variables like self-efficacy. The expected outcomes are the collection and management of real-time behavioral and psychological data to define a personalized strategy for increasing PA.
