SPRINT

A lack of exercise and poor diet are now widespread causes of a number of illnesses. Health insurance companies and employers are struggling with high costs as a result of cardiovascular diseases, back problems and diabetes in particular. Prevention and fitness programs with individual coaching are effective, but are only available to a few people for cost reasons. Competitive pressure is also forcing fitness service providers to significantly limit the personnel-intensive support services for individual customers.

The aim of the project is to reduce the cost of training support as much as possible while maintaining a high standard of quality and thus making it accessible to a large number of people. The project aims to develop the Personal Health Manager and a concept for a scalable infrastructure for service provision.

The "Personal Health Manager", a combination of product (hardware + software) and service (training advice, monitoring, etc.), enables trainers to support a significantly larger number of people with similar effort. The aim is to automate or support frequently recurring processes and routine tasks that can provide training assistance and document progress regardless of location. The solution is to be tested in the field of occupational prevention at Munich-based companies.

• Development and piloting of a solution (Personal Health Manager) for IT-supported company health management
• Development of new user groups through a high-quality and at the same time cost-effective (as it can be used by a large number of users in parallel) IT-supported fitness offering
• Development of methods, models and tools for systematic product-service bundling in the healthcare industry
• Development of appropriately adapted sports medicine models for exercise planning, documentation and control for office workers
• Determination of the value contribution of investments in preventive IT-supported exercise programs
