MIND Lab aims to provide a range of services including digital content creation, objective and subjective metrics and data curation.
Mental Illness & Neuro Digital Labs
MIND Map
MIND Map aims to facilitate early diagnosis and more personalised treatment through establishing illness patterns across the lifespan from developmental disorders, child and adolescent mental illness, adult mental illness and neurodegenerative diseases. We will curate different datasets to look for patterns that may predict treatment preference, adherence and response. We are developing a database that will enable data to be collected across several studies with a network of participants to collect information about mental health across different conditions, contexts and tasks.
MIND Tools
MIND Tools will create digital content and digital fusion through gamified interventions using VR, AR and mixed realities, bringing together a range of cross disciplinary researchers to integrate digital technologies for diagnostics, intervention and predictive analytics.
MIND Sense
MIND Sense will develop objective metrics to quantify mental health, changes in mental state and emotion processing in condition like Parkinson’s Disease. This will be used both diagnostically and to measure change in conjunction with interventions. Non-invasive sensors will enable combined non-intrusive wearable and non-wearable measures with the user need and comfort and a central component.
