Aims

A free application that is designed to help people hit the recommended target of eating five portions of fruits and vegetables a day is now available for ...

The app is free of charge for users and is currently available until March 29. The information is intended to educate users, but also ensures this information is directly relevant to the user (ie, they only get the information on the fruits and vegetables that they consume), can be gained at the time and location of consumption, and is provided in a clear and accessible manner. Prior to this work, some qualitative work specifically conducted in low consumers of fruits and vegetables also found particular difficulties with the portion size and variety components of the message. Ongoing use of the app is possible, but this is not our aim. [five-a-day message](https://www.healio.com/news/cardiology/20210301/five-servings-of-fruits-vegetables-per-day-may-reduce-mortality), provides this information to increase understanding of portion sizes, provides information on the amount required for a full portion if less than a full portion is consumed, tracks intakes and provides motivational messaging to aid adherence. Some primary care populations that may benefit particularly from fruit and vegetable consumption may find it useful. Appleton: The app is based on earlier work demonstrating low fruit and vegetable consumption among the population to try and find strategies for increasing consumption. The SMART-5-A-DAY app tells users if they are eating the right foods and portion sizes to meet recommended nutrition guidelines from U. Lower knowledge was also associated with lower fruit and vegetable consumption. The final product, according to Appleton and colleagues, “incorporates several behavior-change techniques (goal-setting, self-monitoring and personalized feedback) as well as aiming to improve knowledge.” The app’s benefits were small, but after reviewing patterns of app usage and qualitative feedback, the researchers made modifications that they believe will increase its benefits. are aware of the recommended targets, they did not know how to achieve them.

During 2022, Vodafone technicians have commissioned a total of 5450 5G sites with more than 16000 antennas across Germany.

The pilot projects will use O-RAN hardware and software, which Vodafone successfully tested in the U.K. The pilots are scheduled to start in early 2023 and mark the beginning of a broader deployment of O-RAN technology in Vodafone’s European mobile networks. “Together with Altice, Vodafone will start Germany’s largest fiber optic alliance in spring 2023, subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities. Nationwide, Vodafone said it currently supplies around 98% of households with LTE. The German telco had already deployed over 3,000 base stations for the provision of 5G SA services. During 2022, Vodafone technicians commissioned 5,450 5G sites with more than 16,000 antennas.
