AI-powered, robotic and immersive technologies for personalized health

Published: November 2025

New technologies such as AI, VR, and robotics have the potential to fundamentally transform healthcare and prevention. They enable personalized, data-driven health solutions that flexibly adapt to individual needs, life situations, and health trajectories. AI analyzes health data and supports medical professionals in optimally planning interventions, while VR provides immersive exercise training and health programs, and robotics can offer precise physical support. This creates a tailored healthcare environment that enhances well-being, promotes the development of new skills, increases motivation, and improves quality of life.

Guiding questions

  • How can Thuringia benefit from personalized health innovations in medical technology?
  • What measures can increase the accessibility and acceptance of robotics and VR, especially among older population groups?
  • What technical and infrastructural prerequisites ensure the quality, safety, and reliability of robotic and immersive health technologies?
  • How can data protection and data security be ensured in AI-supported healthcare solutions?

challenges

A key issue in the introduction of such technologies in healthcare is their technological complexity and the need for high reliability. Many systems—including robotic assistance solutions and VR-based healthcare applications—require continuous calibration and individual adjustment. Data protection and security are also crucial, as wearable sensors and AI-powered systems collect and process sensitive health data. Furthermore, the accessibility of new technologies presents a challenge—both financial and infrastructural—which can hinder their consistent adoption across different regions and populations.

Concrete examples

  • AI-supported therapy and health plans, progress analyses, nutritional and lifestyle advice
  • Robot-assisted movement training and motor support
  • VR-based exergames (exercise + gaming) to promote fitness, balance and well-being
  • Telehealth services using robotics and AI, including telepresence systems
  • Portable sensors for precise motion and health data collection
