Lessons Learnt● Walking improves physical and mental health
● Diet is biggest influence on weight & health parameters
● Fibre & Protein are key nutritional elements
● Water and hydration affect sleep
● Alcohol affects weight and sleep
● Last meal should be 3+ hours before bed time
● Motivation is personal and linked to circumstances and level of lifestyle control
Global Lifestyle Related Challenges
Modern Lifestyle consequences include many negative effects which place
increasing demands on available resources and
threaten the sustainability of public services for future
generations
Global Challenge – HealthObesity, Diabetes, Cancer & Cardiovascular Problems
● Sedentary lifestyle
● Convenience foods
● Comfort eating
● Inadequate exercise
● Couch potato syndrome
● Spectator society
Changing Lifestylesand Consumer Empowerment
One of the consequences of this convenient and
easy access to our daily wants and needs is a
decline in the physical and mental challenges
necessary for our lifelong development and health
maintenance
Global Challenge – HealthAgeing Society – Cognitive and Physical decline
● Declining working population
● Longer life expectancy
● Middle Age skills “scrap heap”
● Shift from families to care homes
● Rising costs of elderly care
What can be Done ?
The consequences of a failure to address these challenges are unthinkable…..

The Transition from Cure to Prevention
It’s quite clear that the best chance we have for increasing our life spans and overall improving our health is to adjust our personal behaviours
and to do so at an early age.

The Same but Different !
My Body is not a Temple it is a Car
Navigating Life’s Journey
Life is like a journey from the cradle to the grave. We know the starting point and the final destination and we are aware of the places en route but we have little idea of how long the journey will last and
whether the route will be easy or difficult
Our Body is our Journey Vehicle
Our body is the vehicle that will take us to our final destination and its condition determines where we are on that journey, the nature of the
journey and how long it will last. Most of us do not know or monitor our body’s condition or properly maintain it
Cars before Data Technology
We used our human skills to get the best from our vehicles supported by knowledge professionals
Breakdowns and Repair
The consequence of this lack of technology in older cars was more breakdowns and a reliance on garages and mechanics to
diagnose problems, maintain and repair
Data Measurement and Visualisation
Modern cars tell us oil pressure, temperature,
speed, range of petrol tank, warn us of any impending
problems, tell us where we are and how to get to our destination and compute
new routes if we go off track
Lifestyle Technology Transforming Health Management
Wearable and embedded technologies change the dynamics of our management like the dynamics of car health management
Where are We and Where can we Go?
Wearable and embedded lifestyle technologies provide the tools to manage our health
But how can we change Personal Behaviours?

Roadmap – Ageing SocietyStrategic partnerships with
international developers of games-based solutions to not only stimulate cognitive and physical exercises for
the elderly but also explore the potential of elderly people to
actively contribute to social and economic development through their
life experiences
Lifestyle Technology Roadmap● Wearable consumer devices like iWatch to provide
advanced health metrics● Healthcare costs linked to lifestyle behaviours● Revolution in the healthcare ecosystem● Use of wearable lifestyle devices for identity
applications● Growth in embedded devices that not only
monitor but also control● The Singularity – Immortality ?
