Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled mining of big longitudinal datasets collected with wearable sensors. KU Leuven
Medical diagnosis and patient follow-up currently relies on the experience of highly specialised clinicians, who evaluate patient symptoms during in-person visits, augmented with results coming from specialised laboratory tests and subjective patient reports. A wide range of digital measurement technologies offer the opportunity to record and store various aspects of health and pathological symptoms in a more frequent and detailed way ...

There is a need for more culturesensitive efficacy and effectiveness research and a need to investigate locally adapted behavioural strategies that could improve adherence towards daily life PA. A first aim is to explore motives and barriers for PA ...

Next to healthy populations, also clinical populations benefit from physical activity and a physically active lifestyle, for example to keep their disease under control or maybe even ameliorate their disease (i.e., exercise is medicine). Research previously focused on physical activity as an individual behaviour. However recently, a shift took place ...
