Começa Agora - U.Porto 2022 Hackathon in “Digital Media and Health Communication and Literacy Project

Começa Agora

Scientific Concept

This innovative project is a partnership between USF Lagoa and EUGLOH and its mission is to intervene preventively in the treatment of obesity. Its aim is for users to be able to make autonomous decisions in their daily lives about health care while maintaining and/or improving their quality of life.
This platform allows users to take responsibility for their own choices while strengthening the doctor-user relationship.

Science Communication Project

The platform helps fight obesity by creating healthy lifestyle habits based on 3 indicators: healthy eating, physical exercise and sleep hygiene.
To do this, users have access to simple sets of activities that can easily be applied to their day-to-day life, developed with your health and well-being in mind. These activities were initially developed by our team of GP’s and fit a wide range of users.

Some examples of these activities are:
