BeACTIVE

One of the project’s added values lies in its combination of technological expertise and sports science applications. While traditional systems often provide general reminders to be active, BeACTIVE offers customized exercise programs tailored to everyday situations and individual user behavior. This is supported by a database of previous research projects, which is used to train and validate the system. In collaboration with the Institute of Sports and Sports Science (IfSS) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the FZI is developing methods that integrate modern AI algorithms with current measurement techniques, such as acceleration sensors and electronic diaries. The result is a real-time, self-learning system that recognizes individual behavior patterns and uses them to derive adaptive recommendations for increased exercise. The project will primarily benefit sports and health scientists who wish to use mobile technologies and AI approaches to encourage physical activity. It also addresses companies in the digital health and occupational health management sectors, as well as private individuals motivated to be more active through adaptive systems. In addition to its social relevance, the BeACTIVE project also has an economic dimension: The AI algorithms and data skills developed can be utilized by small and medium-sized enterprises in the digital health sector, particularly to create new products and services. BeACTIVE demonstrates how Artificial Intelligence can help to positively change health-related behaviour in everyday life and address social challenges through digital technologies.
