Abstract

Objective: Menopause, a natural biological process in women's aging, leads to a rapid increase in fat mass and a redistribution of body fat from the periphery to the abdomen: abdominal obesity and oestrogen decline predispose to adverse metabolic changes and high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. It could be necessary to encourage lifestyle measures in addition to therapeutic interventions. As more and more women start to use smartphones, they may provide a tool to help improve their health and fitness. The Vita Nova project consists in the development of a mobile app to accompany and coach women during menopause. The main objective is to investigate the user profiles and personas, as methodological tools to inform the design and development of Consumer health technologies devices for menopause self-care.
