Project description
Interventions and Contextual Understanding for Low Back Pain Research (ICON) is aimed at scientific renewal of Low Back Pain research. We combine existing data sources with novel mobile data collection modalities and custom-built crowdsourcing setups to develop an Artificial Intelligence -based solution capable of suggesting just-in-time treatment interventions. By combining the expertise of the PRIMO research group at the Center for Lifelong Health Research with the vast technological expertise of the Center for Ubiquitous Computing, ICON is a multidisciplinary project with potential to contribute to both fields: medical and computational science.
