Digital Health Technologies and Assistive Systems

Focus areas:

• Tablet and mobile health applications for older adults and people with dementia
• XR and AI in therapy and diagnostics, e.g. exposure therapy, cognitive support
• Multimodal Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
• Healthcare workflows and clinical UX design
• Evaluation of technology adoption in care settings

Our work in digital health centers on the development and evaluation of user-centered technologies to support diagnostics, therapy, and self-management—particularly for older adults, people with dementia, and those with mental health conditions. We design tablet- and XR-based systems that facilitate patient-reported outcomes, guided interventions, and interactive health education. A special focus lies on the integration of intelligent virtual agents and adaptive interfaces to increase motivation, empathy, and usability in clinical and everyday settings. Our projects are embedded in interdisciplinary networks, combining expertise from medicine, psychology, computer science, and public health to improve healthcare delivery and promote digital inclusion.
