Abstract

Elpis Vlachopapadopoulou, Eleni I. Georga, and Dimitrios I. Fotiadis present state-of-the-art m-health solutions for monitoring and treatment of children suffering from obesity. M-health solutions are used for self-management, remote monitoring, and counseling of several chronic conditions, including diabetes mellitus, heart failure, Parkinson's disease, etc. Concerning childhood obesity, those solutions can combine targeted games and motivational approaches towards both physical activity and diet, which could help in addressing this serious and global health issue, in the direction of minimizing co-morbidities and eventually preventing serious, life-threatening events.
