Research Lines

Our work is organized around research lines that combine scientific rigor, technological innovation, and a strong commitment to mental health and equitable care.

01

Digital Health Interventions

We design and study technology-enabled interventions that improve access, engagement, and continuity of care across diverse health contexts.

Intervention science

02

Telemedicine

We examine how remote models of care can strengthen health systems, expand reach, and support more responsive and person-centered services.

Connected care

03

Artificial Intelligence

We explore responsible AI applications that can enhance assessment, support decision-making, and enable innovative forms of digital health research.

Responsible innovation

04

Mental Health Focus

Across our research agenda, we maintain a particular emphasis on mental health, emotional well-being, and accessible models of support and care.

Cross-cutting priority

How We Work

A professional research environment with a strong interdisciplinary orientation

Our team works at the intersection of science, technology, and health systems. We value methodological rigor, responsible innovation, and collaborative inquiry, especially in areas where digital tools can improve mental health and access to care.

Methodological rigor

We emphasize robust study design, analytical quality, and careful interpretation of results across the full research cycle.

Interdisciplinary collaboration

Our projects benefit from multiple perspectives, allowing us to address complex health questions with greater depth and relevance.

Technological innovation

We are interested in how digital tools, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence can strengthen research and improve health services.

Mental health commitment

Mental health is a central area of interest across our work, particularly in relation to access, emotional well-being, and scalable digital support.

Research excellence with a digital health vision

We aim to produce high-quality, socially meaningful research that contributes to digital innovation, equitable care, and the future of mental health support.
