Health Promotion and Predictive Disease Management

Current Situation

Risky behaviors such as tobacco use and obesity are top causes of disease, disability, and death. Proper inoculation can prevent illness and death; yet often citizens are not informed of the consequences of risky behaviors nor of outbreaks of contagious illness. Information may exist on agency websites, but this is not accessible via mobile devices, is often hard to find, and is not current.

Goals and Objectives

Promote health and reduce chronic disease risk through helpful and easy-to-find and access information on diets and physical activity guidelines to maintain healthy body weights. Prevent chronic health diseases by educating the public and increasing immunization rates for infectious diseases.

Technology Deployed

Hardware: Smartphones, tablets, wearables

Software: Cloud-based interactive data portals accessible via mobile devices, social media alerts via widgets, geolocation of visualization of episodes, and analytics and AI for predicting disease outbreaks

Services: Business service and IT service

Use Case Summary

Promoting health and reducing chronic disease risk can be accomplished by educating the public, allowing users to explore information, and providing timely information for preventative measures.
