Sensorization to Promote the Well-Being of People and the Betterment of Health Organizations
Fábio Silva, César Analide · Advances in bioinformatics and biomedical engineering book series · 2016
Well-being is a complex notion of satisfaction towards a human being. There is no doubt that it is not essential but the greater the sense of well-being, the better are living conditions and general happiness. It can be measured and although it is not directly assessed, there are procedures that grasp its value. An example is the act of sensorization of different key related attributes. Sensorization is the ability to gather data which may be used to a plurality of objectives. The greater the number of sensorized attributed, the better evaluation on well-being can be made. But there are more benefits that can be hypothesized such as the construction of community knowledge bases and the search for abnormal relationships between well-being and the attributes sensed. A historical record of our way of life can also present clues to health organizations, both to the creation of regulations and individual diagnosis.
