Activities 575-HOPE A technology solution to address Preparedness Response and Recovery from opioid and all types of addiction Integration of available resources and services related to addiction in Hamilton County Ohio in to a program to breakdown data silos, determine best practices, and improve outcomes. This includes a SMS text messaging platform branded “575-HOPE” to engage, inform, and educate those struggling with opioid addictions, and their caretakers. With the capability to proactively inform users that have interacted with the platform of emergency events, the AI-powered and callcenter backed application provides one point-of-entry for those in crisis, ongoing support for those in recovery, and a database of the journey of those individuals accessing services for evaluation by program providers and policy makers. Air Quality Monitoring in London Key Deliverables IoT platform that measures air pollutants and greenhouse gases in London, in real-time, by combining ground sensors and satellites’ data Real-Time monitoring and mapping of air pollution in London Monetizing reductions of Carbon Emissions to generate revenues and/or debt financing for the London Greenwich’s Borough Air Quality Sensing Wherever You Go in Taipei The proposed project will develop portable AirBox devices to facilitate mobile air quality monitoring, with a focus on PM2.5 sensing, in Taipei city. The device is small-sized and light-weight, and it uses the LoRa technology for low-power and long-range data communication. The expected results of this project are: it promotes citizen engagement of wearable environmental monitoring ranging from walking, jogging to cycling; it provides a finer spatio-temporal granularity of air quality monitoring results for further data analysis and environment awareness; and it interconnects government, academia, industry, and maker community for social good and real-world impacts. Applications and Projects Mozark Contract Tracing Platform Video deployed by the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications, Government of India Blockchain and Public Health The Action cluster will aim to help collaborate with key stakeholders in the public health community to help create a Guide on best practices, case studies, and standards. The Guide will help guide key decision makers as they begin to formulate their policy positions on Blockchain and Public Health issues.

Physical health refers to the overall well-being of the body and its systems, including the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system, and the digestive system. It is the ability of the body to perform daily activities, resist and recover from illnesses and injuries, and maintain balance and physical fitness.

Physical health can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, environment, socioeconomic status, and medical conditions. Good physical health is characterized by a strong immune system, a healthy body weight, and the absence of chronic illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

To maintain physical health, it is important to engage in regular physical activity, eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, and avoid risky behaviors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider and early detection and treatment of any health problems can also help to maintain physical health.

There are many factors that can influence physical health. Some of the most significant include:

• Genetics: certain health conditions and diseases can be inherited from family members.
• Lifestyle choices: habits such as diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption can greatly impact physical health.
• Environment: factors such as pollution, exposure to toxins, and access to healthcare can affect physical health.
• Socioeconomic status: people living in poverty or with limited access to healthcare may have poorer physical health outcomes.
• Stress: chronic stress can lead to a variety of physical health problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and weakened immune system.
• Medical conditions: pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease can greatly affect physical health.
• Sleep: Lack of quality sleep can greatly impact physical health and may lead to chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes.

These are just a few examples of the many factors that can influence physical health. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and being aware of these factors can help individuals to improve their physical health.
