Researchers from 19 institutions and companies in seven different European countries met on November 15-16 at Eurecat’s facilities in Barcelona to launch the PREVENTOMICS project, which aims to develop personalised plans for nutrition and lifestyle habits to improve the health of people, based on individual traits such as physical and behavioural traits, lifestyle, genotype, preferences and physical condition. The personal health plans, which will consider consumers’ needs and requirements, will reach the recipients in the form of behavioural prompts, thanks to the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools.

In this meeting, presentations were made by each of the participating companies in order to explain what tasks they perform and what responsibilities they have. 

The kick-off-meeting the following is a list of the 19 partners of PREVENTOMICS: ALDI, Alimentòmica, Onmi; Simple Feast; METEDA; Carinsa and Practio; and the research centres and universities Università di Parma, University of Southampton, Institute of Communication and Computer Systems, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, Leitat, Wageningen University, Uniwersytet Jagiellonski in Krakow and Universiteit Maastricht, as well as the osteoarthritis patients association Osteoarthritis Foundation International (OAFI), the Spanish Consumer Organization (OCU) and the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE).
