Obesity: Technology, exercise and diet

Abstract:

Use of technology to accompany the treatment of obesity and exercise routine has become an ideal complement to carry historical data that are representative to measure the evolution of this disease. A bibliographic analysis of some studies was applied where it has successfully contributed to the use of APPs that are cornering the market because they not only measure the steps an individual takes, but also the calories consumed versus calories burned. APPs are a tool or support, but obesity is a complex disease that requires another type of support, not only an APP; Additionally, climate change affects food security, which causes the increase of this disease.
