Imagine passing a doughnut shop and being tempted to step in although you know that you need to lose weight. Before you enter, your mobile phone urges you not to do it. A sensor, hidden perhaps in your wrist band or clothes, has reported your intention wirelessly to your health coach who has sent you an automated message.

This is one example of how technology will enable people to take better care of their health in the future.
Holly Jimison and Misha Pavel from Oregon, US, are currently carrying out a research programme called Personalized Health Coaching under the Finland Distinguished Professor Programme (FiDiPro) at TUT.

Permits will be required to park on the TUT campus from 15 April onwards. Visitors may park in designated visitor spaces that are intended for short-term stays (max. 4 hours).

Parking arrangements are changed, because the construction of the new Campus Arena will start soon. For example, the car park in front of the Main Building will no longer be available.

The parking areas marked by H (=henkilökunta) are reserved for faculty and staff and parking areas marked by O (=opiskelija) are reserved for students.

The parking spaces marked by V (= vieras) are reserved for visitors. They are intended for short-term parking (max. 4 hours) and require a parking disc.

Visitors who stay on campus for more than 4 hours can collect a one-day parking permit from the info desks. The one-day permit allows them to park their cars in the parking spaces reserved for students and staff (but not the spaces equipped with a plug-in pole).

The parking areas will be monitored to ensure observance of the regulations. Unauthorized parking carries a fine.
