Tobias Budig and Lola Ackermann present our Embodied Voice Assistants at the ETH Zurich Informatiktage, 29 March 2025
Digital Voice Assistants: Brilliant or Creepy? Learn more about our holographic physio coach ALEX and voice assistant GRACE for people with dementia by joining Tobias Budig and Lola Ackermann at this year’s Informatiktage in Zurich.
Discover how digital voice assistants can be utilized in the treatment of chronic back pain as well as lifestyle interventions for dementia. Our holographic physiocoach, ALEX, was developed as part of a research project to guide users through correct back-strengthening exercises at home. You’re warmly invited to interact with ALEX using our augmented reality glasses and try performing a few squats. Look forward to receiving feedback from ALEX.
Our voice assistant, GRACE, is designed to help individuals with early-stage dementia train their memory. Additionally, GRACE aims to enhance health literacy and motivate users to increase physical activity, adopt healthier eating habits, and better manage stress. Come explore our prototype and see firsthand how GRACE can improve quality of life.
Enjoy fascinating insights with our digital voice assistants, ALEX and GRACE, at the intersection of medicine, technology, and management. Further information is available on the respective project websites:
