SEMEiotic Oriented Technology for Individual's CardiOmetabolic Risk Self- assessmeNt and Self-monitoring

Summary

Cardio-metabolic risk factors include obesity, physical inactivity, smoke, alcohol abuse, high blood lipids or sugar and arterial hypertension. Systems for self-learning and self-monitoring may help people improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle through tailored suggestions about diet, weight control, physical activity, fatigue,stress.

SEMEOTICONS exploits the human face as an indicator of individual's health status and translates signs obtained from the face using contactless sensors into measures and descriptors to be automatically evaluated by a an interactive smart mirror. This "Wize Mirror" extracts descriptors from videos, images and gas concentration signals and integrates them in a virtual model used to compute and trace the evolution of an individual's wellness index. A health diary enables each individual to evaluate and personally relate his/her lifestyle to his/her well-being. Coaching messages are provided, in relation to the evolution of the wellness index and of each descriptor, to provide useful suggestions on correct lifestyle self-monitoring.

The purpose of this study is assess the accuracy of the information derived from the Wize Mirror in expressing the health status of the individual.

The reproducibility and repeatability study will evaluate whether measurements are stable over short time spans and whether they are influenced by meals light and temperature conditions.

To verify whether the Wize Mirror is able to detect variations in physical and emotional health status with appropriate lifestyle changes, the validation study will cross-check measurements from the Wize Mirror against reference clinical tests at enrolment and after 3 months of personalized suggestions for healthy behavior.

Reference tests include

* Physician visit
* Measurement of blood oxygen content and skin end products of sugar metabolism,body composition, energy expenditure, vascular function
* Laboratory profile and exhaled gas composition
* Questionnaires on quality of life and lifestyle (food, sleep, physical activity, smoking, alcohol, stress).

Wize Mirror measures include

* 3D reconstruction of face images for roundness, color, stress and fatigue
* Heart and respiratory rate
* Detection of skin sugar metabolism end-products and of eye lipid deposits
* Small vessel vasodilating ability with local heating The results will allow to assess whether the Wize Mirror is easy to use and helpful for self-monitoring of cardio-metabolic risk.
