Use of AI Methods in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases such as Dementia

Context

Globally, more than 55 million people are affected by dementia, and this number is expected to rise to 139 million by 2050. This development poses a significant challenge to our healthcare system, as no cure for dementia currently exists.

Our research system, "METIS," offers an innovative solution with a web platform and smartphone app that enables doctors to comprehensively analyze patients' health conditions and develop targeted, personalized measures to address the challenges of dementia.

The system is complemented by AI-supported components such as biomarker data analysis and LLM-based chatbots. Additionally, smart devices like smartwatches or smart blood pressure monitors are planned to be integrated into the system. Processing and visualizing measurement data are central elements of the application.

Tasks

• Familiarization with the Existing System: Understand and analyze the current architecture and functionalities.
• Familiarization with the Technology Stack: Deepen your knowledge of the technologies and tools used.
• Scientific Work: Develop a well-founded concept, implement the planned measures, and systematically evaluate them.
• Involvement in Current Research Projects: Actively contribute to ongoing research initiatives and integrate the results into the overall context.

Requirements

• You are studying medical technology, electrical engineering, computer science, mechatronics, or a related field.
• You are dedicated, motivated, and work carefully and conscientiously.
• You have a strong interest in developing modern AI solutions that improve people's lives.
