Pre-conference Workshop 4

Creating Digital Health Interventions: A Hands-On Workshop with the Computerized Intervention Authoring System (CIAS)

Thursday, 8th May, 13:00 - 17:00

  • Frank Muller, Researcher in Digital Health, Germany
  • Eva Maria Noack, Researcher, University Medical Center Göttingen 

The Computerized Intervention Authoring System (CIAS) is an open-source, non-commercial platform designed to easily create and manage digital behavioral health interventions. Without programming expertise, healthcare professionals and researchers can design, customize, and deploy digital health interventions. These may include interactive content, randomization of participants, animated narrators that speak aloud in over 40 languages, instant translation and sending tailored SMS to participants.

CIAS was originally developed at Michigan State University. The new CIAS-EU version was recently deployed to comply with the European Union’s security and privacy regulations.

This hands-on workshop will guide participants through the fundamentals of using CIAS. Workshop participants can instantly begin to develop their own interventions ready for use in medical research or other healthcare settings. Participants should therefore bring their own laptop.

This interactive session is ideal for clinicians, researchers, and public health professionals seeking innovative ways to integrate technology into healthcare interventions.
