ELEVEN- Empowering Healthy Living

The vision for the ‘Design Futures 2050’ is to create a healthy community living through stark lifestyle modification. Such a metamorphosis is encouraged through a point accumulation system based on fitness activities performed by the user. The activities shall be tracked using an aesthetic wearable device that suits everyday’s fashion.

Several Physiological readings taken in conjunction can reveal the state of mind and physical health of an individual. In order for the governing agency to track the user’s authentic performance of a healthy lifestyle, the wearable device would track the below mentioned readings, which when scientifically analyzed will determine the health and fitness status of the user. The recorded readings are Temperature, Respiration, EEG, ECG, EMG, Electrodermal Activity, Photoplethysmograph, and Sleep Cycle.

Our fingers provide the most accurate reading of many biometrics that directly impact how we feel. A smart-ring on the finger will act as one’s daily health compass to keep one on track and healthy. It will paint a holistic picture of one’s fitness. Whether under the weather, just stressed, or having bad sleep cycles, the wearable on the finger can detect the negative conditions through the physiological readings and acknowledge for improvements.

Several tasks shall be measured in order to determine the Fitness level and Scoring factor of the user. Eleven such measurable tasks are detailed below. Such tasks shall be detected through the physiological readings of the body using the Smart-Ring. The tasks include physical fitness activities, mental fitness chores, hydration, avoiding hazardous intake, sleep, screentime reduction, locomotion, Medical checks, medical talks, help-a-friend programs and digital games.

The user will be automatically given as well as can voluntarily participate in personalized challenges everyday. The app will track the users challenges and reward with VERY points for future redemption. This will act as a cognitive reinforcement system that steers folks to perform well in the fitness realm so that they can have a monetary advantage.

Overview of the issue and your approach: Other than the pandemic, factors that contribute to the deleterious health status are age, fears/stress, social media influence, lifestyle diseases, socioeconomic status, increased screentime, absenteeism, substance abuse, disrupted sleep and unhealthy eating habits. The effect was profoundly seen in smaller age groups, especially in school-going children. With the severe and prolonged lockdowns, the daily activity of kids and general public was nearly reduced to zero. Online classes and work sessions for long hours, worsened the situation further. People were not just restricted to their homes but closely confined to their study zones at home. Their daily routine no longer existed. This has taken a toll on the population in terms of behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, obesity, terminal illness, social isolation, and a general unhappiness of everything.
