Abstract
My spouse Kerttu’s initial idea of doing a doctoral research was born on Christmas 1992. In the Christmas Day morning, she told me and our sons, Jaakko and Ilkka, about the innovative dream she had the previous night with her eyes sparkling and great enthusiasm. Heard so sudden, the idea about the health portrait instrument called Me Key seemed quite strange and unfeasible. As I was familiar with Kerttu’s determination, diligence, and modest ambition, I was thinking that the idea could be realizable after all and that it could help health nurses’ work for improving youngsters’ health control.
