Imagine a digital safety net that helps people struggling with life's big changes, like moving to a new country or dealing with climate shifts. It works like a smart map that identifies what makes a person strong and what pulls them down, then connects them with the right tools and people. The goal is to stop mental health struggles before they become crises by keeping people connected and active.
Current mental health services often fail to address the complex, overlapping triggers caused by climate change, migration, and digitalization, leading to high costs and low engagement in vulnerable groups.
A digital support system and a set of intervention tools designed to promote resilience and social connection in disadvantaged communities.
If you are an app developer dealing with high user churn in vulnerable groups — this project developed a digital support system that targets individual and social levels simultaneously. This allows for more effective, non-stigmatizing tools that increase user participation.
If you are a city health provider dealing with rising mental health costs due to migration and digitalization — this project developed implementation scenarios that balance effectiveness with efficiency. This helps in deploying scalable support systems at affordable costs.
If you are a social service provider dealing with isolated elderly or youth populations — this project developed intervention tools tailored to local community needs. This increases social participation and reduces the stigma associated with seeking help.
Based on available project data, the system is being designed for affordable costs for implementation, though specific pricing is not listed.
Yes, the project aims to develop implementation scenarios that specifically balance effectiveness with efficiency and scalability for use throughout Europe.
Based on available project data, there is no specific mention of patents or licensing agreements in the provided text.
The project runs from 2023-06-01 to 2027-11-30, with the final stage focusing on implementation scenarios.
The system is co-created with local community members in 9 countries to ensure the tools are relevant and acceptable to end-users.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 8 universities and 4 research organizations across 10 countries. With 0% industry representation and 0 SMEs, the project is driven by scientific validation and theory rather than immediate commercial drive, which suggests a high-quality evidence base but a need for commercial partners to lead the market entry phase.
