Abstract
Chronic health problems related to mental wellbeing are
rapidly growing, calling for novel solutions focusing on
individual as a psychophysiological being. We describe a
novel technology-based concept for empowering citizen
towards holistic self-management of her wellbeing:
"P4Well" (Pervasive Personal and PsychoPhysiological
management of WELLness). The primary focus of the concept
is on management of stress and recovery from stress
caused by daily life through improved health management
strategies. The P4Well concept combines modern
psychological methods with personal health technologies.
The technologies include a web-portal and web-based
tools, mobile phone with mobile client applications,
wearable health monitoring devices, and different
analysis methods based on
physiological models for interpretation and feedback. The
concept supports secured private expert consultation and
peersupport through social media. Our driving principle
is to recognize that an individual is the best master of
her own wellness, and we target to empower her for
realizing the fact.
