The PhilHumans project has trained a next generation of young researchers in innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and established user interaction with their personal health devices in an advanced and intuitive way. The project explored cutting-edge research topics related to AI-supported human-machine interfaces  for personal health services. PhilHumans was committed to responsible research and innovation to establish disruptive and innovative technology for AI-assisted human-machines interfaces, employing language technology, cognitive computing, computer vision, and machine learning (ML). The technology can be applied in a number of personal health contexts and extend or being coupled with Home healthcare, as well as in additional fields such as population health management and provide several benefits to users making sure science and research is conducted with and for society.

The training and research network with 8 ESR in the project explored AI knowledge and expertise from Natural Language Generation (NLG) & Processing (NLP), Cognitive Computing, Computer Vision, ML focusing on 5 research objectives. Based on sound career development plans, and coached by experienced supervisors a training was offered by leading image analysis research groups from Philips (global leader in medical imaging) and the Eindhoven university of Technology (worldwide recognized authority in education and research on image analysis, esp. on MRI) and supported by researchers from leading universities like University of Cagliari, University of Catania and University of Aberdeen. After finalisation of their PhD the researchers planned for a next career step in research or industry depending on their affinity.

The project as a whole has contributed to the development of new technologies, data sets, and application concepts in the area of personal health interfaces. The work has been documented in the top conferences and journals in the area and many of the results, including data sets developed in the project, and software repositories, are available for the further research and development work in the community.
