Current project: HealthyW8 HealthyW8 aims to prevent overweight and obesity through a multidisciplinary approach that combines interventions in the areas of nutrition, physical activity and psycho-emotional aspects. The project focuses on windows of opportunity in the lives of people at high risk of developing overweight and obesity, such as school-age children, young adults and elderly people. To this end, a healthy lifestyle recommendation system based on digital technology will be developed that adapts interventions to individual needs and preferences. The project brings together 24 partners from 9 EU countries.n)
