Detailed Description

Hypertension incidence and overweight or obesity related, constitute a worrying public health problem nowadays. In this sense, healthy eating and regular physical activity have demonstrated a relevant role maintaining health while ageing. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been shown as a useful way to promote health, improving motivation and overcoming difficulties to maintain a healthy lifestyle. ICTs also reach a wider audience at a lower cost, due to their good cost-benefit relationship and the possibility of increasing the efficiency of interventions.
