Abstract :
This paper introduces an operational wellness model that forms the basis of a wellness visualization system. The operational wellness model is needed to determine a common reference enabling the evaluation of the visualization system. Existing definitions of wellness and wellness evaluation models have limitations and cannot be realized in software. The proposed model comprises the operational definition of wellness and the operational wellness evaluation model. The results generated by the operational wellness model will be used in the wellness visualization system. The model presents numerous advantages: it is extensible, computable, and can be rendered by a computer program.
