Abstract
The Self-Healing Hypochondriac: Confessions of an AI Nerd
From Skeleton Avatar Technology to medical insights and future directions in AI for eHealth – Welf Löwe

This talk introduces our Skeleton Avatar Technology (SAT), an AI-based approach to video motion analysis. We will present ongoing research, recent results, commercialization efforts, and future directions, highlighting how SAT can provide valuable medical insights and transform applications in healthcare and elderly care. In addition, we will briefly outline our other research activities in AI and eHealth.

The Journey and Lessons of Emerging Technologies in Education: Insights from the European Project Exten.(D.T.)² – Alisa Lincke

This seminar introduces the Exten.(D.T.)² project (Extending Design Thinking with Emerging Digital Technologies), a Horizon Europe / Innovate UK initiative (2022–2025). The project enhances Design Thinking in schools by integrating technologies such as AI, augmented reality, robotics, 3D printing, with a main focus on authorable learning analytics and dashboards. Implemented in six European countries, it explores both the opportunities and challenges of using these tools to foster creativity, collaboration, problem solving, and digital literacy. Personal experiences from European research projects will be shared, with reflections on lessons learned in cross-national collaboration.
