Project background

The increasing availability of multimodal health data, coupled with advances in AI, offers new opportunities to deliver personalised, scalable behavioural interventions in healthcare. However, current conversational AI systems remain limited in their ability to operate reliably across diverse clinical contexts. They often lack generalisability, struggle to integrate heterogeneous and longitudinal data, and do not adequately address key challenges related to safety, bias, robustness, and clinical validity.
