Following a healthy lifestyle can help you prevent overweight and obesity. National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, designed a newly innovated smart watch named iNCKU with cloud-based health management system to help its students keep track of their health indicators.

According to NCKU Health Center, since its debut in April, the result is satisfying, showing that a total of 110 students lose weight in 200 kg, overall body fat reduction in 104.3, over the past three months.

iNCKU tracks steps, calories, distance and monitors sleep and heart rate, according to NCKU Health Center, and its features include body fat measurement and a hydration monitoring.

NCKU Health Center launched a campaign in May to urge the students to use iNCKU to create a diet and exercise plan based on preferences as well as areas of health challenges.

The campaign has divided into two phases. The first phase is a three-month plan including the loading rate, the diet record, and health information register.

In the second phase, the participated students will be required to continue the register till the end of the year to build a healthy lifestyle.

With the combination of the smart watch and cloud platform, the iNCKU users are able to track health indicators and receive immediate feedback.

The health management system iNCKU is a co-innovation effort from NCKU Office of Student Affairs, NCKU Health Center and Innovative Digital Content Research Center.

Now, NCKU Health Center will recruit 110 students at NCKU whose body mass index from 24 to 34 to join the campaign.

Wearing the smart watch, students are able to use the technology to monitor their health conditions such as walking step, calories burned, activities, sleep duration and quality of sleep.

Meanwhile, NCKU Health Center will provide health advice and guidance according to the data students provide.
