An E-Health System for Treatment of Childhood Obesity

Abstract: Obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges of the 21st century and the most prevalent health problem among children in Europe. Treatment is complex due to the multiple causes of obesity that include many dimensions of children’s lives, such as nutritional habits, physical activity, and lifestyle. E-health technologies can be useful in this area; they may improve health care delivery and acceptability, facilitate the provision of interventions to wider populations, and improve treatment efficacy by… Show more

“…The problem to be addressed is the analysis of data from adolescent and preadolescent children suffering from overweight and obesity, who were receiving a weight loss treatment focused on developing healthy eating habits and increasing their daily physical activity. There were two treatment conditions with the same components: (a) treatment supported by a web platform and (b) traditional treatment (only face-to-face; for a more detailed description, see Baños et al 2009, 2011, 2013; Oliver et al 2013). The only difference between the two conditions is the use of the web platform.…”

“…Mientras unos se dirigen al desarrollo de habilidades cognitivas como la atención (Castro et al, 2018), las habilidades sociales (Al Saud, 2017) o las inteligencias múltiples (Garmen et al, 2019), otros pretenden mejorar el aprendizaje de áreas específicas como las Ciencias Naturales (Hurtado et al, 2015;Strawhacker et al, 2018), las Matemáticas (Tazouti et al, 2019), la Lengua Inglesa (Anyaegbu et al, 2012;Hansbøl, & Meyer, 2011), la Historia (Lunn et al, 2016) o la Educación Musical, trabajando la ópera (Ramos, & Botella, 2015) o la recuperación de las raíces folklóricas (Ramos, & Botella, 2016). El tercer grupo se centra en temas transversales, como la educación para la salud o la nutrición (Baños et al, 2013;González-Valero et al, 2018), o el cuidado de los animales y el fomento de su bienestar (Hawkins et al, 2019). Por último, destacan aquellos que lo que pretenden analizar es el impacto de los videojuegos en el alumnado (Jenson et al, 2016;Zhao, & Linaza, 2015) o sus beneficios pedagógicos (Sáez-López, & Domínguez-Garrido, 2014).…”

“…En general, como en estudios previos, los resultados muestran la potencialidad de los videojuegos en el ámbito educativo y su utilidad para facilitar el aprendizaje desde una perspectiva multisensorial (Papanastasiou et al, 2017;Skianis, 2017), estimular el pensamiento cognitivo, creativo, social y moral del alumnado (Galindo, 2019), cambios en los comportamientos para promover estilos de vida saludables (Baños et al, 2013), y la transversalidad en los entornos educativos a través del desarrollo de la alfabetización mediática (Sousa, & Cost, 2018), ya que constituyen una herramienta muy motivadora, porque el alumnado aprende jugando en un entorno desafiante (Papanastasiou et al, 2017). Así, se observa en trabajos como el de Ramos y Botella (2016) que el uso de estrategias didácticas novedosas y recursos tecnológicos de forma innovadora aumenta la participación del alumnado y convierte al docente en un facilitador del acceso al aprendizaje (Hurtado et al, 2015).…”
