AI-Driven Childhood Obesity Prevention Platform and Specialized Health Biobank

healthPilotedTRL 6

Imagine a giant digital library that stores health and lifestyle data from children across Europe to spot obesity risks early. It uses this information to create smart apps that give personalized health tips to kids and parents. The goal is to stop healthy children from becoming unhealthy by changing their habits through technology.

The business problem

What needed solving

Childhood obesity is reaching epidemic levels in the EU, but current research lacks standardized data and meta-reviews. This makes it difficult for health providers to create effective, personalized prevention strategies.

The solution

What was built

A cloud-based obesity biobank and platform featuring AI-based apps for risk assessment and lifestyle recommendations, validated through 12 pilots.
