SMILE

Harnessing digital technologies to strengthen mental health care: an Integrated Approach to Clinical Decisions and Evidence-Based Interventions

Objectives

SMILE aims to address several mental stressors by developing an Open Knowledge Platform (OKP) that offers digital tools for children, adolescents and young people (aged from 10 to 24 years old) to improve the quality of their mental health management and provide personalized decision-making and evidence-based interventions in an effective way. The OKP will incorporate various digital and self-assessment tools (e.g., Serious Game, Awareness App, Self-Assessment and Monitoring Framework, Decision Support Systems, etc.) designed to aggregate young’s mental data and make it available to specific stakeholders in order to foster resilience, improve cognitive flexibility, acquiring coping skills and social competence including self-efficacy, critical thinking, self-regulation, and self-confidence.

    Our Role

    NVISION leads the WP5 Advanced tools and open knowledge platform” including the development of Explainable Decision Support System (DSS) for subjects’ stratification based on the risk to develop anxiety and depression. Suicide risk monitoring will be also investigated using standardised Patient Reported Outcomes Measures. In addition, by analysing the Serious Games data, the DSS would be able to uncover behavioural patterns and facilitate more informed decision-making for the clinical psychologists, children and caregivers, and researchers.
