Abstract
The emerging pervasive ICT infrastructure with the
"disappearing computer" enables citizens and patients to
take charge of the management of their health and chronic
disease. However, there are several barriers than hinder
the diffusion of such technology-based services into the
every day life of patients and citizens. This paper
discuss these barriers in the light of an R&D project the
aim of which is to support weight management with
wireless technologies.
