Digital Health Zurich

In our next Digital Health Webinar — a joint initiative by Digital Health Zurich, the Digital Health Center Bülach, and the ZHAW Digital Health Lab — Prof. Tobias Kowatsch (Digital Health Zurich) will present PRECIOUS: an evidence-based, data-driven platform for personalised health interventions.

The University Medicine Zurich technology initiative PRECIOUS [1,2] aims to improve the  design and evaluation of Precision Digital Therapeutics (DTx). More specifically, PRECIOUS will help clinicians and researchers design, evaluate, and implement regulatory-compliant educational, behavioral, or cognitive DTx, including patient-reported outcomes and ecological momentary assessments, to make high-quality UMZH treatments more efficient. Unlike standard DTx, Precision DTx use various data streams to deliver highly personalized, timely interventions, offering support when individuals are most receptive. This approach directly addresses a major limitation of current DTx: sustaining long-term engagement.

In this webinar, Prof.  Kowatsch will provide an update on the 2-year PRECIOUS project, including a demo of new features, such as a hybrid rule and LLM conversational agent (chatbot), modular integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and an adherence-dashboard prototype, as well as an outlook on upcoming building blocks, including a two-sided marketplace for DTx intervention components.
