Puremind

PUREMIND will create the first Integrated Mental Health Ecosystem (IMHE) to predict/early identify Mental Health Disorders (MHD) and create more optimal personalized interventions to prevent MHD and thus improve the well-being of children, adolescents and young adults (0-25 years). The ecosystem will mitigate key challenges associated with MHDs, specifically 1)Detection: 1 in 7 cases of MHDs undetected and untreated, 2)Treatment effectiveness: lack of tools and guidelines for personalized multidisciplinary interventions that work, 3)Access to support and care: long wait times for care due to lack of trained staff, 4)Inequality: disparate and inadequate mental health services between and within countries, and 5)Modern cultures and lifestyles: the increasingly recognized risk factor of digital addiction resulting in a sedentary and socially isolated lifestyle that contributes to TMD. PUREMIND’s approach, which combines analytical modeling of dynamic systems in the cyber-physical context of a subject’s personal natural environment, the process of interaction between gene, gut, brain and MDD, will create a much needed personalized intervention synthesis framework that will be exploited by an artificial intelligence engine to deliver optimized personalized intervention, and a unique digital twin that will educate young people on how MDD may develop based on their environment and lifestyle.
