CARPEDIEM: CARe Platform for Elevating DIsability Management

In the context of the CARPEDIEM proposal, we aim to develop an integrated, cloud, monitoring platform for persons with intellectual disabilities, mental, behavioural and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Objectives

1. Cloud Platform

Design a secure, cloud-native platform that integrates health data from multiple sources: medical records, caregiver inputs, real-time monitoring devices such as wearables and smart home sensors. Enable real-time data processing and AI-driven analytics to detect early signs of disability/disorder progression, providing actionable insights for clinicians and caregivers. Implement business process automation (BPM) and computerized clinical guidelines to track the progress of multiple patients in parallel. Anonymize and aggregate longitudinal data to enable its secondary reuse, according to both the letter and the spirit of the EHDS.

2. Co-creation, Design & Decision Support

Co-design the platform with persons with intellectual disabilities, families, and healthcare professionals to ensure usability and ethical considerations. Develop personalized dashboards for different stakeholders (clinicians, caregivers, policymakers) to visualize patient progress, generate reports, and support evidence-based decision-making.

3. Digital Therapeutics & Cognitive Support

Support the development of digital, non-invasive, and transdiagnostic therapeutic interventions (e.g., AI-assisted cognitive-behavioral therapy, virtual reality-based rehabilitation, neurostimulation). Improve autonomy and daily functioning by designing gamified cognitive training programs tailored to different severity levels of intellectual disabilities or mental disorders. Develop a mobile application to assist caregivers with real-time guidance and solicit disease progress data via notifications.

4. Impact Assessment & Dissemination 

Create an online community where caregivers can securely share experiences, access peer support, and exchange best practices for managing intellectual disabilities. Evaluate the platform’s impact by conducting pilot studies in EU regions to assess the platform’s effectiveness in improving quality of life and reducing caregiver burden. Integrate with existing clinical research infrastructures to enable collaborative studies on innovative therapeutic interventions (e.g., neurostimulation, digital therapies, psychosocial approaches).

Expected Results

1. Early detection and personalized care that enables timely interventions for persons with intellectual disabilities and mental or neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as improves the transition from child to adult care.

2. Improved autonomy and well-being via gamified cognitive training, digital therapies, and AI-powered assistance tools.

3. Reduced caregiver burden through real-time support, symptom tracking, and an interactive online community for knowledge-sharing.

4. Enhanced research collaboration by integrating multi-source health data with clinical infrastructures to drive innovation in therapeutic interventions.

5. Scalable adoption of integrated care models supported by pilot studies, policy recommendations, and evidence-based best practices.
