• Data-driven treatment strategy for even more personalised patient care, offering a massive competitive advantage to the customer

• Cutting-edge technologies streamline complex analyses and support diagnostics, meaning much less organisational work for healthcare professionals, leaving more time for face-to-face patient contact

• Linking the app with wearables provides additional vital parameters and context for treatment

Austrian mental healthcare provider Anima Mentis is using data and AI to help prevent and treat mental disorders. This involves collecting and processing a host of biometric, medical and contextual data inside and outside of the company’s own wellness centre.

The company commissioned Zühlke to build an app as well as a cloud-based AI platform which analyses the information to support the experts in creating personalised recommendations for patients. These treatment plans are aimed at preventing burnout and boosting mental strength. This revolutionary approach is enabling the provider to gain significant competitive advantages for itself.

Experts can tailor treatments even better now to address a person’s main difficulties, analyses have become much easier and the time needed to document case histories can be reduced considerably.

Offering highly personalised treatment for mental health involves a lot of analytical effort. Conventional therapies often require the attending experts to spend countless hours documenting a patient’s case history – not to mention long treatment timelines. Physical reactions and vital parameters provide valuable information that can be used to speed up this process. However, evaluating these manually is not an effective solution.

This is why Anima Mentis decided to work with Zühlke and develop a digital solution that could easily collect and analyse this data, and transform it into something that professionals can work with.

Together with the customer, Zühlke developed an app and a cloud-based AI platform to offer a solution that allows them to quickly analyse a wide range of biometric, medical and contextual data, both on site in the customer’s own centre and from other locations. Data security is of great importance for Zühlke, which is especially key in healthcare.

This is why state-of-the-art encryption standards have been implemented, starting with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare’s own platform standards and supplementing those with further special security features. Customers also benefit from a unique holographic identification solution accessible via QR code, ensuring their data always stays fully anonymous.
