AffecTech

AffecTech - www.affectech.org - is an international research project progressing state-of-the art developments in mobile, wearable and personalised health technologies. It aims to deliver an effective low cost technology platform to help sufferers of affective health conditions (depression, anxiety & bipolar disorder). AffecTech marks a significant shift from current wearable technologies capturing emotional responses that require interpreting by health professionals, towards a new self-help technology for visualising, exploring and regulating emotions in daily life. Members of the AffecTech Consortium have recruited 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) who are also enrolled as PhDs, and who are benefiting from a unique doctoral training programme to become the future generation of European researchers. AffecTech researchers intend to revolutionise affective health research and improve health care through innovative personalised technologies. The AffecTech network brings together eleven institutions from across Europe; as well as a range of associate partners. AffecTech Consortium: Lancaster University, UK (coordinator); Kungliga Tekniska Hoegskolan, Sweden; Trinity College, Ireland; University of Oxford, UK; Universita Di Pisa, Italy; Universitat Jaume I De Castellon, Spain; Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore, Italy; Bogazici Universitesi, Turkey; Philips Electronics, Netherlands; The Leeds Teaching Hospitals National Health Service Trust, UK; Plux - Wireless Biosignals, Portugal. Associate Partners: Stanford University, Carnegie Melon University, University of California at Santa Cruz, University of New South Wales, Ericsson, LifeMote, dacadoo AG, Smartex SRL, Biosync Technology, Dovetailed Ltd, SilverCloud Health Ltd, Centro Clínico de Psicologia, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Codasign. AffecTech is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network funded by European Commission H2020.
