This is the case of Marco (a fictional name) who has reported how the BD4QoL project has helped improve his well-being. In fact, within the context of a healing process that had already begun before he was enrolled in the study, the patient has described how, after a period of illness, he felt encouraged to resume his usual activities and hobbies, such as dancing, gardening, traveling, and wood carving, for example. Even the simple fact of achieving his physical activity goals, which he monitored using the project's app, motivated him and made him look more positively towards his future. All of this served as a stimulus for him to regain his sense of humor, curiosity, and the joy of doing new things, both alone and in the company of friends and family.
The experience of CSS researchers tells us that often, in the context of research projects involving aspects of well-being or health monitoring, it is possible to observe signs of an improvement in the quality of life because patients feel more at ease specifically because they are being monitored.
