Precision Health, Nutrition & Behaviour Lab is a collaboration between Radboud University, OnePlanet Research Center, Radboudumc, Wageningen University & Research and nine industry partners. This lab focuses on the development of AI solutions for encouragement of healthy behaviour in humans, with a specific focus on precision health and nutrition.
Nine PhD students and three postdocs work among other things on the development of new sensors, algorithms, chatbots and apps that provide personalized support in the field of health and (eating) behaviour.
The first aim of the lab is to increase the richness and quality of health, dietary and behavioural data by monitoring health using various or novel sensors. The second aim is to develop smart AI algorithms and machine learning techniques to extract more relevant outcomes and knowledge from these data. The final aim is to improve the personalized lifestyle feedback generated from these measurement to coach in the direction of healthier behaviour.
The Lab envisions to develop tailored and innovative AI algorithms and tools that cope with increased data yield and facilitate knowledge extraction, allowing immediate personalized feedback to coach in the direction of healthier behaviour. By contributing to overall healthier behaviour of the population, the lab can potentially increase the quality of life of people. This will results in lower expected incidence rates of disease and therefore also lower the burden on the healthcare system.
Research projects
AI for dietary assessment and dietary coaching: To develop automatic and semi-automatic measurements of food intake and macronutrient intake, such to be able to use this data to automatically generate personal advice and individualised coaching.
Health-promoting chatbots: The development of health-promoting chatbots in the domains of smoking addiction and sexual health.
Prevention and detection of Orthostatic Hypotension by wearable sensor technology: The development and validation of wearable sensors for measuring blood flow in the brain based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIS)
