Brief Summary

The principal objective of the project is:

  • to bring together academic and business research organisations in a joint partnership integrating technological and social innovation,
  • in order to develop proof-of-concept of a scalable and cost effective personalised digital health program for (pre)obesity patients,
  • by integrating, in an ethical manner, adaptive AI components aimed at personalisation of the program as well as its cost management,
  • with the ultimate objective to support sustained behavioural change leading to adoption and internalisation of healthy lifestyle choices.
