In the Digital Companion project, we aim to develop an integrated system that closes the loop between obesity consultations. The Digital Companion helps the doctor and patient to collaboratively develop a treatment plan, supports the patient between the consultations in adhering to the treatment plan, and feeds back this data into the next consultation. During that time, an LLM-based chatbot supports the patient through guidance, reminders, and persuasion. This closed loop will empower the patient and doctor to personalize the treatment plan leading to better adherence and, in the end, better health outcomes.read more

Technology changes the way people live and work. Much of this change happens rapidly, following a hype around a technological innovation or invention.

The goal is to describe hype as a phenomenon of a globalized, interconnected world and to relate it to practice of software developers, inventors, and technology creators.read more
