Professor Jacek Rumiński from the ETI Faculty is a scientific consultant for a multidisciplinary team that has developed an innovative application aimed at improving our health - VIKA. Thanks to the cooperation of many specialists in various fields – among others artificial intelligence, medicine, psychology or sport, a virtual assistant of healthy lifestyle was created. We can always have it within reach.

One of the originators of the application is Łukasz Ossowski, a GUT graduate, co-creator of the best Ivona speech synthesizer in the world. There are many applications on the market that encourage physical exercise, measure our activity, remind us to drink water or create a low-calorie diet. VIKA stands out significantly, as it is the world's first healthy life expectancy counter. It analyzes physical activity, lifestyle, diet and thanks to the data collected in a detailed interview, it estimates the biological age of its user.
