LA IMPORTANCIA DE LOS TRASTORNOS MENTALES (TM) EN TERMINOS TANTO DE MORBILIDAD COMO DE AFECTACION DE LA CALIDAD DE VIDA DE PACIENTES ES MUY ELEVADA YA QUE CONSTITUYEN LA CAUSA MAS FRECUENTE DE CARGA DE LA ENFERMEDAD EN EUROPA, POR DELANTE DE LAS ENFERMEDADES CARDIOVASCULARES Y CANCER. ASIMISMO, LA PERDIDA DE CALIDAD DE VIDA ES SUPERIOR A LA QUE PRODUCEN ENFERMEDADES CRONICAS COMO LAS ENFERMEDADES CARDIACAS Y RESPIRATORIAS. CON RESPECTO AL IMPACTO ECONOMICO, LA MORBILIDAD PSIQUIATRICA ES MUY ALTA, CON ESTIMACIONES CONSERVADORAS DE 3-4% DEL PNB DE LA UNION EUROPEA, SUPERANDO LOS 182.000 MM¿/AÑO. EL 46% DE DICHO GASTO CORRESPONDE A COSTES SANITARIOS Y SOCIALES DIRECTOS, Y EL RESTO A GASTOS INDIRECTOS DEBIDOS A LA PERDIDA DE PRODUCTIVIDAD, ASOCIADA FUNDAMENTALMENTE A LA INCAPACIDAD LABORAL. EN GENERAL SE CONSIDERA QUE LOS TM SON EL GRUPO DE ENFERMEDADES QUE SUPONE EL MAYOR COSTE DIRECTO Y TOTAL PARA EL SISTEMA SANITARIO DE LOS PAISES OCCIDENTALES. A PESAR DE LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA SALUD MENTAL, TRADICIONALMENTE, LA APLICACION DE LAS TIC¿S A SALUD MENTAL HA SIDO UN AREA DE INVESTIGACION EN INGENIERIA BIOMEDICA (IB) ESCASAMENTE ABORDADA. ACTUALMENTE, LA TERAPIA COGNITIVO-CONDUCTUAL (TCC) ES UNO DE LOS TRATAMIENTOS MAS EMPIRICAMENTE ESTUDIADO Y EFECTIVOS PARA EL TRATAMIENTO DETM JUNTO CON LA EXPOSICION MEDIANTE REALIDAD VIRTUAL (VRET). EL USO DE INTERNET PARA TCC-VRET, DENOMINADO TCCCOMPUTARIZADA -VRET HA DEMOSTRADO SER UNA INTERVENCION EFICAZ Y DE BAJO COSTE PARA EXTENDER LOS TRATAMIENTOS BASADOS EN LA EVIDENCIA. EL PRINCIPAL OBSTACULO PARA LOGRAR UN USO GENERALIZADO DE LOS SISTEMAS TCCC-VRET ESTRIBA EN QUE SE DISEÑAN PARA UN SOLO TIPO DE TM. POR ESTE MOTIVO PRESENTAN SERIAS LIMITACIONES TANTO PARA LA DETECCION DE NUEVOS PROBLEMAS QUE PUEDEN APARECER DURANTE EL TRATAMIENTO COMO PARA ADAPTARSE AL TRATAMIENTO DE OTROS TRASTORNOS. EL NOVEDOSO PARADIGMA DE NEUROPSICOTERAPIA (NPST) ESTABLECE LAS BASES PARA DEFINIR PROTOCOLOS DE PSICOTERAPIA GENERALISTAS QUE PUEDAN ABORDAR LA MAYORIA DE TM. EN CONCRETO, LA TEORIA DE LA CONSISTENCIA DE GRAWE, ESTABLE UN MODELO TEORICO QUE HA PROBADO SU EFICACIA PARA TAL FIN. EL PROYECTO ATHENEA PROPONE EL DESARROLLO DE UN SISTEMA TCCC-VRET BASADO EN EL MODELO DE GRAWE QUE PERMITA OFRECER TERAPIA PARA LA MAYORIA DE TM. EL IMPACTO CIENTIFICO DEL PROYECTO ES NOTABLE AL SER EL PRIMER PROYECTO A NIVEL INTERNACIONAL QUE ABORDA LA INVESTIGACION DE SISTEMAS TCCC-VRET GENERALISTAS BASADOS EN PARADIGMAS DE NPST. EL IMPACTO ECONOMICO Y SOCIAL ES MUY ELEVADO, YA QUE MUCHAS BAJAS LABORALES (O ABSENTISMO) SE PODRIAN EVITAR Y TAMBIEN SE PODRIAN REDUCIR LAS LISTAS DE ESPERA EN LA SANIDAD PUBLICA. POR OTRA PARTE, TAMBIEN SE PODRIA REDUCIR LA FACTURACION DE PSICOFARMACOS YA QUE, MUCHAS VECES, LA BUSQUEDA DE AYUDA EN ASISTENCIA PRIMARIA SE DEBE A LAS IMPORTANTES ALTERACIONES DEL ESTADO DE ANIMO QUE SE PRODUCEN AL PADECER ESTOS PROBLEMAS. EL EXITO DEL ENFOQUE DEL PROYECTO QUEDA GARANTIZADO AL SER EL EQUIPO SOLICITANTE UN REFERENTE INTERNACIONAL EN EL AMBITO DE LA IB APLICADA A SALUD MENTAL. ASIMISMO, EL GRADO DE INTERNACIONALIZACION DEL PROYECTO ES NOTABLE AL REUNIR INVESTIGADORES INTERNACIONALES DE MUY AMPLIA RELEVANCIA. POR ULTIMO, LA POTENCIAL EXPLOTACION DE RESULTADOS DEL PROYECTO ES SUMAMENTE ELEVADA COMO ASI LO DEMUESTRA EL APOYO DE MULTIPLES EMPRESAS EPO Y EL HECHO DE QUE DISPONER DE UN SISTEMA DE ESAS CARACTERISTICAS SUPONE UN DIFERENCIAL PARA LAS EMPRESAS DE ENORME VALOR DIFERENCIAL FRENTE A EMPRESAS COMPETIDORAS (Spanish)

THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL DISORDERS (TM) IN TERMS OF BOTH MORBIDITY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS IS VERY HIGH AS THEY ARE THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE OF BURDEN OF THE DISEASE IN EUROPE, AHEAD OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND CANCER. LIKEWISE, THE LOSS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IS GREATER THAN THAT CAUSED BY CHRONIC DISEASES SUCH AS HEART AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES. REGARDING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, PSYCHIATRY MORBIDITY IS VERY HIGH, WITH CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES OF 3-4 % OF THE GNP OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, EXCEEDING 182,000 MM/YEAR. 46 % OF THIS EXPENDITURE CORRESPONDS TO DIRECT HEALTH AND SOCIAL COSTS, AND THE REST TO INDIRECT COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTIVITY, MAINLY LINKED TO INCAPACITY FOR WORK. IN GENERAL, TMS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE GROUP OF DISEASES WITH THE HIGHEST DIRECT AND TOTAL COST TO THE HEALTH SYSTEM IN WESTERN COUNTRIES. DESPITE THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH, THE APPLICATION OF ICTS TO MENTAL HEALTH HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN AN AREA OF RESEARCH IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING (IB) SCARCELY ADDRESSED. CURRENTLY, COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) IS ONE OF THE MOST EMPIRICALLY STUDIED AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF TM ALONG WITH VIRTUAL REALITY EXPOSURE (VRET). THE USE OF THE INTERNET FOR TCC-VRET, CALLED TCCCOMPUTARIADA -VRET, HAS PROVEN TO BE AN EFFECTIVE AND LOW-COST INTERVENTION TO EXTEND EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENTS. THE MAIN OBSTACLE TO ACHIEVING WIDESPREAD USE OF TCCC-VRET SYSTEMS IS THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR A SINGLE TYPE OF TM. FOR THIS REASON THEY HAVE SERIOUS LIMITATIONS BOTH IN DETECTING NEW PROBLEMS THAT MAY APPEAR DURING TREATMENT AND IN ADAPTING TO THE TREATMENT OF OTHER DISORDERS. THE NOVEL NEUROPSYCHOTHERAPY PARADIGM (NPST) ESTABLISHES THE BASIS FOR DEFINING GENERALIST PSYCHOTHERAPY PROTOCOLS THAT CAN ADDRESS THE MAJORITY OF TM. IN PARTICULAR, THE THEORY OF THE CONSISTENCY OF GRAWE, ESTABLISHES A THEORETICAL MODEL THAT HAS PROVEN ITS EFFECTIVENESS FOR THIS PURPOSE. THE ATHENEA PROJECT PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TCCC-VRET SYSTEM BASED ON THE GRAWE MODEL TO OFFER THERAPY FOR THE MAJORITY OF TM. THE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF THE PROJECT IS REMARKABLE AS IT IS THE FIRST PROJECT AT AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL TO ADDRESS THE RESEARCH OF GENERALIST TCCC-VRET SYSTEMS BASED ON NPST PARADIGMS. THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT IS VERY HIGH, AS MANY JOB LOSSES (OR ABSENTEEISM) COULD BE AVOIDED AND WAITING LISTS IN PUBLIC HEALTH COULD ALSO BE REDUCED. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BILLING OF PSYCHOPHARMACEUTICALS COULD ALSO BE REDUCED BECAUSE, MANY TIMES, THE SEARCH FOR HELP IN PRIMARY CARE IS DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF ENCOURAGEMENT THAT OCCUR WHEN SUFFERING FROM THESE PROBLEMS. THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT APPROACH IS GUARANTEED AS THE REQUESTING TEAM IS AN INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARK IN THE FIELD OF IB APPLIED TO MENTAL HEALTH. LIKEWISE, THE DEGREE OF INTERNATIONALISATION OF THE PROJECT IS REMARKABLE BY BRINGING TOGETHER INTERNATIONAL RESEARCHERS OF VERY WIDE RELEVANCE. FINALLY, THE POTENTIAL EXPLOITATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE PROJECT IS EXTREMELY HIGH, AS EVIDENCED BY THE SUPPORT OF MULTIPLE EPOS AND THE FACT THAT HAVING SUCH A SYSTEM IS A DIFFERENTIAL FOR COMPANIES OF HUGE DIFFERENTIAL VALUE COMPARED TO COMPETING COMPANIES (English)
