Post-COVID condition or Long-COVID is an emerging global health challenge. Eat, Move, Heal network was formed to create and deploy people-centred solutions.
Eat, Move, Heal Network (EMHN) is the coming together of researchers, educators and healthcare practitioners from over 10 disciplines, industry partners and people with Long-COVID. Eat, Move, Heal refers to lifestyle, evidence-based interventions of diet and nutrition, physical activity, and mental health modulation.
The network provides the most up-to-date information of Long-COVID to healthcare practitioners and the public; and explore:
The following themes reflect areas of expertise across the network. Members may work in several of these areas.
Identifies gaps in health services and forms partnership with key stakeholders to deploy Eat, Move, Heal lifestyle interventions through developing care pathways.
Focuses on addressing mis-information and dis-information about Long-COVID.
Unpack social and health factors contributing to the experience of people with Long-COVID.
Explores efficient digital modes of deployment of lifestyle interventions and information of Long-COVID.
Translate evidence into individually tailored lifestyle changes through facilitating people to form better habits of die, exercise and sleep; and develop ways to address day to day mental health challenges.
Uses behaviour change theories to identify and address barriers to the uptake of lifestyle interventions, in particular when the interventions are delivered digitally.
Develop self-care (movement and breathing, applying pressure on acupuncture points) strategies to facilitate the recovery from COVID, prevent the development of Long-COVID.
Explores suitable biomarkers to enable diagnostic tools and intervention evaluation.
