Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The project validated the technical and commercial feasibility of a non-obtrusive smartphone-based solution that is able to recognise patterns of well-being and stress for the early detection and prevention of burnout based on the analysis of speech, sleep and typing behaviour.

The project has established the market interest (competitive analysis, willingness to pay) and recruited corporate organizations willing to participate in trials.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

Corporate wellbeing programmes are primarily reactive services (e.g. hotline counselling services) that are not scalable and have limited impact. In order to reduce costs and increase effectiveness, corporations are looking for solutions that allow employees to proactively manage their own health and well-being.

In 2013, the costs of work-related depression in the EU-27 was estimated to be €617 billion annually34, taking in account costs to employers resulting from absenteeism (€272 billion), loss of productivity (€242 billion), healthcare costs (€63 billion) and social welfare costs (€39 billion).
