As of yet unsure whether this is actually the birth of a new society of AI agents of just the wildest multi-agent confabulation mess infiltrated by human hackers + crypto-scammers we have ever burnt a forest and emptied a river for, but it sure is fascinating to see!

Very helpful for students! One minor point to consider adding around a frequent point of confusion: direct quotes are usually only used if the exact way something is put is important to retain; most references/citations are paraphrased for brevity and/or better contextualization in one's own work
💡November Recap: Connecting with partners in digital health. We presented to the #ALPS delegation (27 countries) about Austria’s innovation landscape, LBI-DHP’s role in digital health research, and potential collaborations. Thanks to Salzburg Research & Innosbg for hosting & organizing. 🌍✨
Also presented MORE and LBI-DHP at FH Salzburg to a diverse digital health audience, thanks to Alex Kollmann & team for initiating.
November was about collaboration and knowledge sharing across our digital health ecosystem. Excited to continue these conversations. #DigitalHealth #ScienceForSociety
Happy Holidays from LBI DHP 🎄✨
As we celebrate the season, we wish you a joyful Christmas and an active and healthy start to 2026. Thank you for advancing digital health, prevention, and innovation with us. We look forward to shaping a healthier future together in the year ahead.

How can we make staying active more engaging? 🤔 Our research on Active Audio Adventures (presented at MuC 2025) shows that blending storytelling, gamification & real-time cues (like haptics) boosts motivation, lowers cognitive load & supports sustainable activity 🏃♂

🩺 New paper at Pervasive Health 2025
We explore healthcare professional insights on how wearable data can support personalized physical activity planning in cardiac rehab - pointing to design needs for trust, workflow integration, and adaptive data sensemaking.

🎉 Congrats to Prof. Dr. Dr. Mahdi Sareban on becoming Chair of Sports Medicine at University Clinic Krems and Professor at KL University! We’re glad he stays affiliated with our institute. His milestone reflects our mission: boosting careers, strengthening science, and driving #digitalhealth.
Our co-director Jan Smeddinck @smeddinck.bsky.social shared our latest work on personalized digital health applications for prevention and rehabilitation in a session chaired by co-investigator Mahdi Sareban.
This is not a AI slop.
To commemorate the first time I actually (knowingly) "liked" an (obviously) generated "AI slop" video today ... with mixed feelings!
📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Since 1954, "The Handbook of Social Psychology" has been the field’s most authoritative reference work, and today is the launch of the 6th edition with 50 new chapters by 100 leading scholars. Best news? The HSP is now an open-access public resource—free to read, download, and share. the-hsp.com
Global warming reaches +1.5 °C this year and +2°C around 2037
Using a 15-year linear or 30-year nonlinear extrapolation.
As global warming has accelerated, using a 30-year linear extrapolation is not the right approach to assess the state of the climate.

"The Last JITAI? Exploring Large Language Models for Issuing Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions: Fostering Physical Activity in a Prospective Cardiac Rehabilitation Setting" on Wednesday.
Hey all in the @acm-sigchi.bsky.social community, or linked to it; and esp. those lucky enough to attend @chi.acm.org 2025 in Yokohama these days:
our PhD candidate (recently submitted!) David Haag <david.haag@dhp.lbg.ac.at> from @lbi-dhp.bsky.social will be presenting our work ...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
A bit longer than your typical keynote, but I hope decently up to speed and perhaps of interest for those interested in personalized health and prevention. There have certainly been more straightforward times for considering what will happen / be most relevant next though! #digitalhealth #ai
@searchliaison.bsky.social Please give a clear pathway to choice when searching between a) traditional web search only, b) AI response, c) both ... AI on nearly every search is wasteful and results in cluttered UI!
We’re thrilled to announce Dr. Ing. Jan Smeddinck will deliver a keynote on "Generative AI in Personalized Digital Health & Prevention" at the Digital Health Forum, Spring 2025!

#ChatGPT #4o new #ImageGen trying to help us make sense of the weirdness of latent space ... quite on point, although the laws of physics arguably still govern even most complex computational realizations within the substrate of our universe ... right?
