About

The AI lab Healthy Living aims to use artificial intelligence to prevent disease, focus on prevention, and encourage healthy lifestyles. By enriching clinical and population information with personal device data, the lab aims to provide personalized insights into lifestyle, behavior, and health for better prevention.

Collaboration

Collaboration between professionals, patients, data scientists, designers, and legal experts will be crucial to overcome key challenges such as text analysis and algorithmic learning, data processing safety, ethics, and explainability. The lab will accelerate data-driven learning in healthcare and stimulate the shift from illness to health, resulting in a more sustainable and cost-effective healthcare system.
