The intention of this is to assist the people in understanding their health position and guide them with the customized methods to accomplish good health and also encouraging them by giving rewards to them on meeting their goals. Suppose that a person went to a doctor for a diagnosis of diabetics and taken some tests after the examination. After receiving the results doctor advises losing your weight, by changing the diet and also asks to increase the physical activity. On the other hand, your job makes you travel a lot and also making you take the diet in the outside restaurants. You also don’t have enough time to increase physical activity by spending some time at the gym. Now the question arises what I have to do now? With the increase in technology and the availability of information on the internet, a search can be made on the diabetics. A lot of information, methods, and applications are found on the net and it leads to confusion and also makes us scary. The main important point to note here is a need for personalized support and it can be made possible with the help of the cognitive application because it can provide a better insight with the personal information making it customized to the needs of the person rather than going in a generalized method.
