Goal-Seeking Formulation for Empowering Personalized Wellness Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a goal-seeking framework for decision-making to empower personal wellness management (PWM). PWM is a complex issue that lies at the intersection of multiple disciplines including psychology, exercise science, medicine, behavioral management, nutrition, and emerging technologies. Ultimately, the objective for the PWM enterprise is to encourage participants to become intrinsically motivated in the management and sustenance of their own wellness. The goal-seeking framework enables us to systematically integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines and offer wellness prescriptions to participants. We describe the goal-seeking formulation for PWM in this short paper and identify key challenges that must be addressed to fully develop this system.
