Living lab AI4U - artificial intelligence for personalized digital mental health promotion in youth

Youth are particularly affected by mental health problems, but their use of, and access to, preventive interventions remains limited. The recent rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digitization enable the development of novel digital interventions. The overarching aim of this living lab is to investigate the digital transformation in public mental health provision based on the novel application of AI methods to a digital mHealth training for mental health promotion and prevention in adolescents and young adults that is tailored to person, moment and context in daily life. The living lab is carried out in transdisciplinary projects involving direct participation of relevant stakeholders, users from the target population and an interdisciplinary research group. Each of these projects includes one or more real-world experiments.

The living lab is headed by Prof. Ulrich Reininghaus (Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim) and funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and Art of the State of Baden-Württemberg.

More information on projects, board members, etc. will follow soon.
