Summary

Obesity and overweight are growing steadily and becoming a global epidemic. Recent researches report a 64% of the adult population as overweight. The social and economical impact is increasing and the most of the rehabilitation programs, while effective in the short term, do not produce long lasting results. From a behavioral perspective an explanatory model can describe the phenomena with the lack of sources of reinforcement related to healthy habits in the daily-life context. The goal of this project, combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Wearable Technology, is to develop an effective intervention, efficient and sustainable, which continues after ending of the hospitalization, providing adequate contingencies of reinforcement in the natural environment, integrating systematic measurements, continuous feedbacks and individualized, values-based objectives. Related goal-setting show a shift from results linked with weight loss towards action connected with healthy life-style.
