PRESENTATION OF THE EXCHANGE
Description of activities, objectives reached, and outputs
The objectives have been met because the goal provided a clear direction for the research project. By emphasizing the development of an innovative solution, the project aimed to utilize advanced technology to address the mental health needs of chronic patients. Through continuous monitoring and timely interventions, the project likely achieved its objectives by providing a solution that effectively supports and manages the mental health of chronic patients. The use of advanced technology ensured that the solution was cutting-edge and capable of meeting the unique needs of this patient population In summary, the project's focus on innovation and technology likely led to the successful attainment of its objectives.
Activities undertaken
To design, develop, and validate a robust prototype employing deep reinforcement learning techniques integrated with voice-vocal pitch-based emotional analytics. This prototype aims to provide continuous and accurate monitoring of the top two emotional indicators in chronic patients,post-surgical procedures, offering timely interventions and support for improved mental health outcomes.
Benefits achieved
A functional prototype successfully demonstrating the capability to monitor and assess multiple emotional states in chronic patients using voice-vocal pitch data through Deep Learning algorithms.Validated evidence of the prototype's efficacy in real-world scenarios, showcasing its potential for timely mental health interventions and support.
QUOTES
Navigating the intricacies of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs program can indeed be daunting, especially in the initial stages. As I embark on this journey, I find myself experiencing a blend of emotions, ranging from excitement to uncertainty. Balancing my role in one company while spearheading another as its founder presents a unique and intriguing dynamic. This dual responsibility allows me to contribute meaningfully to external projects while also nurturing my own entrepreneurial venture. I'm deeply appreciative of the European Commission for offering this transformative program, which not only broadens my cultural horizons but also fosters a mindset of innovation and growth in the business landscape.
Our company and Vikki have a common interest in developing assistant tools for chronically ill home-patients, a rapidly growing patient category in the Western countries. We particularly operate in the field of conversational and emphatic carebots. A functional prototype has been developed successfully demonstrating the capability to monitor and assess multiple emotional states in chronic patients using voice-vocal pitch data and Deep Learning algorithms. Validated evidence of the prototype's efficacy in real-world scenarios, showcasing its potential for timely mental health interventions and support. We will further develop this towards a patient-friendly chatbot as to maximize the adoption impact in the target user group.
The benefits of working together on this common interest is that technologies from both NE and HE can be combined to something new which can generate new business for both parties. We intend to continue our cooperation after this program. I strongly recommend the EYE program, particularly if there is a complementary business interest between NE and HE.
