Department Seminar Series | Digital Innovation in Metabolic Psychiatry: AI-enabled Ketogenic and GLP-1 - Supported Lifestyle Interventions
Dr Megan Kirk-Chang, University of Oxford
Tuesday, 10 March 2026, 9.30am to 10.30am
Lifestyle interventions are increasingly central to treatment strategies for psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. This seminar will focus on ketogenic diet-based programs and GLP-1-supported lifestyle interventions, examining their metabolic and neurobiological rationale. I will discuss how AI-enabled digital platforms can support personalisation, adherence, and monitoring, while generating actionable data to inform both clinical care and research. The talk will highlight key evidence gaps and translational challenges, and will explore which lifestyle components, such as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, cognitive-behavioural strategies, and stress regulation, appear most critical for sustaining cognitive and psychiatric benefits. Opportunities and challenges for integrating AI-enables lifestyle platforms into clinical and research settings will be discussed.
This seminar is hosted in person in the seminar room and online:
