Imagine if your phone and satellite data could predict when city noise or heatwaves might trigger a mental health crisis. This work connects huge health records with weather and city maps to find the biological 'tripwires' in our brains. It then uses virtual reality and new medicines to help people stay resilient against these external pressures.
Mental health services lack objective biomarkers to predict how environmental stressors like climate change or urbanization will trigger illness in specific individuals.
A digital health platform (StreetMind), a genetic analysis tool (FEMA GWAS), and a spatial data infrastructure for environmental mapping.
If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with a lack of specific targets for environmental depression — this project developed a compound screening process based on molecular mechanisms that identifies new pharmacological targets.
If you are a health app developer dealing with low user engagement and generic tracking — this project developed the StreetMind platform that captures digital biomarkers using neuro-psycho-behavioural stratification.
If you are a VR therapy provider dealing with a lack of evidence-based content — this project developed VR interventions based on adverse environmental features to reduce symptom progression.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the tools is not mentioned, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 9,045,288.
The project leverages data from 1.5 million Europeans and uses federated learning via the COINSTAC platform, suggesting a high capacity for large-scale data processing.
Based on available project data, the project developed the FEMA GWAS tool for genetic data analysis, but specific licensing terms are not provided.
The project uses a spatial data infrastructure and federated learning to securely analyze data across 9 countries.
The project period runs from 2022-06-01 to 2027-05-31, indicating that final results and validated interventions will be available by May 2027.
The consortium is heavily research-oriented with 19 universities and 4 research institutes, but maintains a significant industrial presence with 5 companies (18% ratio), including 3 SMEs. This balance suggests that while the core is scientific, there is a built-in pipeline for commercial translation across 9 countries.
