Seminar Room 2nd Floor, Faculty of Medicine, Tr. SNP 1
Preventing chronic diseases, and stopping them from getting worse, is possible when engaging in healthy behaviours (eating a balanced diet, doing regular physical activity, etc.), but changing a behaviour is not easy. The EVO+ Project is a family of digital behaviour change-oriented projects; developed using mHealh, AI, behaviour change science, motivational communication, and user-centered design. Over 12 weeks, participants are guided step-by-step through setting goals, tracking their activity, as well as planning, and staying on track over time.
We warmly invite you to join us for an in-depth session exploring how next-generation digital technologies and AI can enhance prevention strategies and optimize chronic disease management. The session will be led by prof. Simon Bacon, an internationally recognized leader in behavioural medicine and digital health innovation.
