title: A web-based tool for cooperating behaviors in eating and physical activity control.
abstract: The field of information technology and the Internet for health care has developed rapidly in the last few years. Furthermore, new services devoted to improve personalized healthcare are emerging from current web-orientated research. Control of eating and physical activity behaviors can be performed in a computer mediated way as a social networking application. To this purpose, we designed and implemented a web application based on the cooperation between two communities: Patients and Nutritionists. The patients are able to cooperate as within a self-help group, while nutritionists can guide patients struggling with incorrect lifestyle and its consequences.
