SmartCHANGE

Healthier habits can start young.

TimelineMay 2023 — Apr 2027
ConnectedCare’s roleConnectedCare leads co-design for the applications and develops the HappyPlant mobile app.

SmartCHANGE develops AI-powered long-term risk prediction models for cardiovascular and metabolic disease in children and young people aged 5–19. Early, targeted support can help prevent unhealthy habits from becoming established.

The research becomes two practical tools: a web app for health professionals with personalised risk assessments and HappyPlant, a mobile app for families that encourages healthier routines through behaviour-change recommendations.

The approach is being validated in a proof-of-concept study across five countries.
