Ageing better with AI

The GAT Institute is involved in the development of an AI-based software platform for self-determined living in old age.

In August 2023, the GAT Institute and its partners in the joint project " Self-determined life in old age through situation-specific and predictive intelligence" (AI4ActiveAge) were awarded the contract for this research project (2023-2026) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the WiR alliance ZukunftALTER.

Our partners are Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, Dresden University of Technology, uCore Systems GmbH in Weiterstadt, TQ Systems GmbH in Seefeld and Johanniter Unfallhilfe.
The aim of the cooperation is to expand the 'universAAL' software platform in such a way that AI applications can be used to improve health and a self-determined, safe life in old age for all life situations. In order to realize this goal, it must be brought to the general public. To this end, a training program is being developed, for which the GAT Institute is taking the lead under the sub-project management of Prof. Hoff. By embedding the project in the WiR alliance ZukunftALTER, which is coordinated by the AWO Hoyerswerda, the results will directly benefit the people in Upper Lusatia.
