In this EFRO (Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling) project, Vivaltes and their project partners aim to expand knowledge of how substances work and to improve laboratory models so that, based on artificial intelligence and a novel gut health model, predictions can be made relating to health-promoting and nutritional products for the betterment of mental and physical fitness. To this end, several project partners with suitably relevant knowledge and activities are in cooperation. Finally, within this project artificial intelligence and data science techniques will be used to develop and prepare new nutritional products, containing the desired constituents in the optimal composition and concentration to maximise their health effects.
