Project description

SmartCHANGE

AI-based long-term
health risk evaluation for driving behaviour change strategies in children and
youth (SmartCHANGE)

The goal of the project
is to develop trustworthy, AI-based decision-support tools that will help
health professionals and citizens reduce long-term risk of NCDs by accurately
assessing the risk of children and teens and promoting optimized risk-lowering
strategies.

By engaging users
right from the start of the application's development and by applying machine
learning to ethical datasets, the project will revolutionize health monitoring
and wellness encouragement for youth, as well as preventing their risks of
contracting diseases later in life.

Timeline for the
project is 2023-2027. The project is coordinated by the Jožef Stefan Institute,
Slovenia's leading scientific research center, leading a consortium of thirteen
international, multidisciplinary partners, with expertise in AI, legal and
public policy issues, healthcare, software engineering, social science, and
communication. The consortium includes both small and large commercial
enterprises and prestigious academic research institutions with strong
connections to health-related policymaking and disseminating entities.
Jamk
University of Applied Sciences is responsible for Finland's part of the
project.
