A Multimodal Data Collection Approach in a Health Promotion Event: “The Futuro Remoto” Living Lab Experience
摘要
Public health events provide valuable opportunities to engage the public in preventive health and self-assessment. This study describes the method used during “Futuro Remoto,” an interactive “Living Lab” designed to raise awareness on key health factors such as nutrition, exercise, social interaction, and cognitive function. Participants followed a guided “health pathway” with nurse navigator support, completing self-assessments across seven stations covering bone health, physical strength, psycho-physical well-being, nutrition and chronobiology, maternal and infant health, male sexual health, and lifestyle motivation. Data were collected using multiple standardized tools linked by unique participant codes, enabling integrated analysis through a digital database. This mixed-methods approach combined qualitative and quantitative data to offer a comprehensive view of health behaviors and risk factors, enhancing reliability and insight. The study underscores the role of nurse navigators in personalized health promotion and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary management in fostering behavioral change. While limited by self-reported, cross-sectional data, the methodology contributes to innovative strategies for health data collection and policy, particularly in aging populations. Future research should focus on longitudinal evaluation to assess lasting impacts.
