AI-Refit Project started in November 2021
The AI-Refit Project, funded by FFG, started on November 1st 2021 and will last 24 month.
AI-Refit, short for AI-enabled Playful Enhancement of Resilience and Self-Efficacy with Psychological Learning Theory, aims for developing a radically innovative prototype of a digital care centre for (i) a playful AI- and sensor-enabled assessment of mental health and (ii) adaptively engaging into activities to prevent from depressive symptoms, severe anxiety and stress levels, to reinforce resilience and to promote self-efficacy of the individual, based on scientific psychological learning theory. (iii) Wearables are integrated to capture daily lifestyle data for a comprehensive contextual assessment.
The project is led by Joanneum Resarch. Project partners are the Cognitive Science Section, University of Graz, as well as digitAAL Life GmbH, Medical University of Graz, and Symptoma GmbH .
