Our society is facing today an increase in health problems that arise from bad lifestyle habits which associated with other risk factors indicate an urgent need to invest in new means of media and education that are more effective.
Simbody started as an idea at ZPX’s innovation department and was brought to life by Bruno’s Master Thesis to address the need of creating an effective tool to educate about better health habits and influence people behaviors. Simbody is an interactive simulator that is directed to the general population or health professionals that search for tools that can help explain the evolution of various pathologies in the human body and at the same time draw awareness to behaviors and risk factors of their patients.
Since then, we have been improving the Simbody application by turning it more user friendly. Currently it allows you to simulate about cardiovascular diseases parametrized by several factors and you can see how your choices may affect risk factors. When simulating you can always go back in time and change your habits to see the implication they have on your life.
