Abstract

In this paper we present key factors for the understanding and acting over behaviors, in order to facilitate healthier aging and wellbeing: motivational theories, health behavioral change theories and physiological constraints of aging. The successful deployment of these related theories can be accomplished through personalized mobile technologies based on behavioral and motivational models that can lead to healthier life styles and sense of well-being throughout an individual's life span.
