Abstract

A personal wellness indicator is a software system that can give people a better understanding of their wellness conditions and can help them improve their wellness levels. The personal wellness indicator is a decision-support system for healthcare professionals. An agent-based wellness visualization system was developed as the proof concept. The agent-based system is constructed from the operational wellness model, the authors developed. The agent-based wellness visualization system is simple, expandable, modular, and its results are appropriate for two types of users with different requirements and backgrounds. This research also developed a framework for evaluating a wellness visualization system. The framework contains both technical evaluations and user studies. The proof of concept obtained positive feedbacks in various aspects. However, there are limitations found during the evaluations. This paper presents the analyzed results obtained from the proof of concept, recommended solutions to the limitations found, and future directions.
