Maths KE Hub Triage Workshop (Holo Coach) - Pain-Aware Exercise Personalisation Under Uncertainty

How do you build a system that safely adapts a person’s exercise programme based on their descriptions of pain – when those descriptions are incomplete, subjective, and arrive in natural language?
 

HoloCoach is developing an AI coaching platform that must reason about a user’s physical experience in real time, selecting and modifying exercises from a structured library while respecting safety constraints that are themselves only partially known.

We are looking for mathematical frameworks to support this: inference from noisy subjective signals, constraint satisfaction under uncertainty, and interpretable reasoning that coaches and clinicians can audit and correct.
