AI-supported, 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 staff in optimally planning measures, while VR provides immersive exercise training and health programs, and robotics can deliver precise physical support. This creates a tailored health environment that enhances well-being, promotes the development of new skills, boosts motivation, and improves quality of life.

Guiding questions

  • How can Thuringia benefit from personalized health innovations in medical technology?
  • What measures increase 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 health solutions?

Challenges

A central issue in the introduction of such technologies in the healthcare sector is the technological complexity and the need for high reliability. Many systems – including robotic assistance solutions or VR-based health applications – must be continuously calibrated and individually adapted. Data protection and data security are also crucial, as wearable sensors and AI-supported systems collect and process sensitive health data. In addition, the accessibility of new technologies poses a challenge – both financially and infrastructurally – which can hinder uniform use in different regions and population groups.

Concrete examples

  • AI-supported therapy and health plans, progress analyses, nutritional and lifestyle counseling
  • Robot-assisted movement training and motor support
  • VR-based exergames (Exercise + Gaming) to promote fitness, balance, and well-being
  • Tele-health services with robotics and AI, incl. telepresence systems
  • Wearable sensors for precise motion and health data acquisition
