TTC #301 Promoting Family Well-being in Finland and Germany

Anni Pakarinen, project researcher at the University of Turku and coordinator of the WellWe project, explains how their platform promotes a family’s healthy nutrition choices, physical activity and wellbeing, utilising available resources in their everyday life. She talks about how the platform takes into consideration the research outcomes they collected from pre-school kids, their families and healthcare professionals from children's centres and health clinics. Their approach includes gamification elements which could potentially make healthy development choices much easier for professionals working in health or social services and children's’ support centres. Last, Anni reveals the next steps and how they are thinking of broadening the scope of the project. Interviewed by Sakis Triantafyllakis for Tech Talks Central during the eHealth Forum Festival in Technopolis, October 2016.
