Future Workshop on Obesity – Focusing on Gaps in Care

Three exciting challenges await you on the topics of:

Prevention

Your mission: Develop a prevention strategy that sets the course for a healthy life. How can we identify obesity risks at an early stage? How can we support people throughout their lives on their journey to a healthy weight? How can we raise awareness of obesity as a medical condition?
Design creative solutions that intelligently combine relevant factors such as nutrition, exercise, and psychosocial aspects. Be a pioneer in the fight against stigmatization and show how we can rethink obesity as a complex disease.

Diagnosis & Care

Your mission: Create a concept that rethinks treatment from the ground up. What does perfect care look like
from diagnosis to aftercare? How can lifelong, needs-based care be ensured? How can innovative technologies for diagnosis, therapy, and aftercare be integrated into prevention work? What will care models of the future look like?
Design concepts for interdisciplinary collaboration between networks of experts from different disciplines. Use innovative methods such as digital support systems to develop individual treatment plans. Develop strategies that motivate patients in the long term and reduce relapse rates.

Job market & participation

Your mission: Develop forward-looking concepts to improve the labor market integration of people with obesity. How can we design workplaces so that they are accessible to everyone? How can we enable people with obesity to participate fully in working life? How can we counteract systematic stigmatization in the labor market?
Work on flexible working models that balance treatment and work. Design a corporate
health management system that sets new standards. Show how career paths can be successful despite possible limitations.
