Abstract:

The PRECISE-CARE project aims to transform mental health services by bringing a new precision-based, data-informed approach tailored to vulnerable populations. Utilizing a Precision Mental Health (MH) strategy within the Process-Based Therapy (PBT) framework, our project will focus on creating evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions that are accessible to underserved groups, such as those in rural areas, individuals at risk of treatment dropout, and those needing tailored mental health support. By integrating Machine Learning (ML) algorithms into PBT, we will be able to predict and personalize treatment responses according to individual needs, enhancing both engagement and therapeutic outcomes. Building upon an existing platform – e-cbt.ro, PRECISE-CARE aims to provide online, scalable mental health solutions specifically targeting anxiety and depression. The project also focuses on empowering researchers and clinicians from the Republic of Moldova with essential skills in evidence-based interventions, clinical trials, and scientific publishing, enhancing their research and clinical capacities. Through extensive training and dissemination efforts, PRECISE-CARE seeks to bridge gaps in mental health care accessibility and efficacy, equipping 50 mental health professionals in Romania and Moldova with the skills to deliver these tailored, evidence-based interventions. This project promises set a new benchmark for Precision Mental Health interventions.
