The goal of the Digital Companion project is to explore how digital health can support patients with chronic diseases in adhering to their treatment plan, as well as physicians in transitioning to a closed-loop obesity treatment using conversational AI. We aim to develop an integrated system that helps patients and physicians collaboratively create a treatment plan, supports the patient in adhering to that plan between consultations, and feeds back patient data into the next consultation for the physician’s reference. The system also includes an LLM-based chatbot that assists patients by providing guidance, reminders, and persuasion. The project enters its final phase with a comprehensive evaluation.
Physicians' advice and treatment practices are often based on incomplete information. Physicians need to learn to incorporate patient behavioral factors. In this thesis, you will research how we can guide/motivate doctors to close the loop in obesity treatment from a collaboration engineering perspective, based on the design science research method. Students are required to be fluent in (Swiss-) German, as the evaluation includes interaction with doctors and patients in Switzerland.
