Health is the most valuable article of the human body. It is the primary thing each of us has to consider before all other matters, as there is nothing worthier than this. For a good health a healthy life style itself is vital. As public health systems get more and more expansive, people nowadays tend to start using external sources of information such as internet, books, magazines, etc. For the increasing demand - the vast selection of information and software is found there, each of which more or less answers to a specific question and not the whole thing in general. Anybody who has searched for a particular answer knows how much time does it take to find out that answer through these sources and often these answers aren?t qualified, which in certain cases can lead to a fatal end.
Another thing which all of us can see today is the increasing demand for the mobile software, as nearly all of us own these handy things and carry it throughout all the day. Our idea was to mix these two situations and create a ?Healthy Life? program for mobile handsets.
Advantages of the program are that: it provides a high quality information which can be trusted at any moment, as all of it is sourced either from up-to-date books or online resources of the National Departments of UK and USA; program itself forms a composite body which includes all the general directions (healthy life style, nutrition, food composition, etc.) in addition to scientific calculators (BMR, BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Waist to Hip Ratio, Ideal Body Weight, etc.), bases of which form scientific formulas derived through thorough observations.
The most interesting and fruitful part of our program is actually the first in these sorts of software. It is the daily nutrition calculator, which helps user to determine whether his/her daily menu satisfies his/her body requirements or not. It is extremely useful, with the fact that it is used through mobile phone.
Program was constructed with a simple and easy to use interface as it could run nearly on all the existing J2ME supported mobile devices, because it is the most important for more users to have ability to use these kind of software.
Beside a simple interface a program is actually quite complex itself, as it supports Community feature. This is section where questions are posted by users and answered by other members of the community, and forms a platform of fruitful exchange of knowledge and experience. The web based application is also provided for PC users. (www.healthy-life-style.co.uk)
Program includes news and advises which are regularly updated by us through internet; And this feature is also provided for PC users in form of RSS Feed.
As the field of public health is huge and constantly evolving itself the demand for the updated software is very high and our main aim is to satisfy these demand by constantly developing and improving the existing software, adding more and more information and features.
