Sujet :
This PhD project aims to design a personalized recommendation system for physical activity tailored to older adults. The objective is to provide individualized exercise programs based on users’ physical capacities, preferences, environment, and feedback (e.g., perceived exertion, fatigue), ensuring safe progression while improving adherence and the effectiveness of home-based physical activity.
The algorithm will combine personalized, adaptive (evolving over time), and collaborative (learning from users with similar profiles) features. The project is interdisciplinary, at the intersection of computer sciences (AI, recommender systems) and exercise physiology.
