Artificial intelligence enabled playful enhancement of resilience and self-efficacy- The AI-REFIT project

The impact of the COVID19 pandemy is a global public health emergency with incising consequences for people’s lives and their mental health. The horizons of our daily lives, our ability to travel and interact freely have suddenly been limited. Distress and anxiety are normal responses to such extreme circumstances. One of the most reproducible findings in stress and resilience research is that the higher the controllability of a stress situation, the better individuals cope with this situation. The support from technology innovation appropriates to counteract crises. For this reason AIRefit wants to contribute to improving resilience with the help of a technologybased app. This App is based on a prototyp developed by digitAAL Life, which carries out a neuropsychological assessment and is intended to demonstrably confirm the improvement in resilience in a pilot study comparing intervention / control group.
