Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in the UK with 1/4 adults experiencing a mental health problem each year (NHS-England). Despite an NHS annual spend in excess of £14.1Bn in 2021, demand for support significantly outstrips supply. Average NHS wait times for example through the Improving-Access-to-Psychological-Therapy (IAPT) programme exceed 18-weeks and, in some cases, up to 12-months depending on region before the start of therapy. This results in many patients being left to tackle conditions such as anxiety and depression alone, often with significant physical/psychological consequences (2/3rds seeing a significant deterioration while waiting). With 1.6M patients currently waiting for treatment through IAPT (70% of people with a diagnosable mental illness in the end receiving no treatment at all), the NHS has placed immediate focus on the use of digital technology to close the "historic treatment gap in mental health provision". However, with tens of thousands of mobile health tools (wellbeing apps, telemedicine services and digital therapeutics) available, selecting those with sufficient evidence base of safety, and effectiveness and identifying the most appropriate for that individual, represents a significant challenge.Combining innovations in the use of AI and data science, the Syndi platform has been designed to address challenges in digital mental health services. It uniquely guides users through clinically-validated diagnostic processes for mental health assessment and using machine learning, it uniquely recommends validated mental health tools and support specific to the individual patient and their condition. The concept and design are fully user-driven, with the registered apps validated by One Mind Psyber Guide (mhealth app review organisation) and covering a range of conditions - each for earlier intervention and significantly improved self-management.In collaboration with the University of Plymouth, Cornwall NHS Trust, and with Innovate UK support, this project aims to better evaluate the impact of Syndi on users' mental health outcomes, explore the potential for patient record integration helping further refine the Algorithm-based recommender systems and identify optimised methodologies for behavioural engagement. If successful, the solution offers significant value in improving the support available to 10M+ adults in the UK suffering with a mental health condition both within and outside of the current care pathway, improving access to support, increased engagement and health outcomes. Future potential in Child mental health where wait times far exceed adult services as well as across wider conditions.

精神疾病是英国残疾人的主要原因，每年有1/4个成人遇到心理健康问题（NHS-England）。尽管NHS年的支出在2021年的支出超过141亿英镑，但对支持的需求显着外部供应。例如，NHS的平均等待时间例如，通过改进的心理学治疗（IAPT）计划超过18周，在某些情况下，根据治疗开始之前的区域，最多可达12个月。这导致许多患者仅仅解决诸如焦虑和抑郁之类的疾病，通常会带来重大的身体/心理后果（2/3rds看到等待时的明显决定性）。目前有160万名患者通过IAPT等待治疗（最终根本没有接受诊断性精神疾病的患者），NHS立即关注使用数字技术来缩小“心理健康方面的历史治疗差距”。但是，有成千上万的移动保健工具（福利应用程序，远程医疗服务和数字疗法）可用，选择具有足够的安全性和有效性证据的人，并确定最适合该个人的人，这代表了一项重大挑战。它独特地指导用户进行临床上验证的诊断过程，以进行心理健康评估并使用机器学习，它独特地建议了经过验证的心理健康工具，并为个人患者及其病情提供了特定的支持。该概念和设计是完全由用户驱动的，注册的应用程序由一项思维Psyber指南（MHealth App Review组织）验证并涵盖了一系列条件 - 每种条件以较早的干预措施，并显着改善了自我管理。完善基于算法的建议系统，并确定优化的行为参与方法。如果成功，该解决方案将为改善英国10m+成年人的支持提供重要的价值，遭受当前护理途径内外的精神健康状况，改善了对支持的机会，增加的参与度和健康状况。在儿童心理健康中的未来潜力，等待时间远远超过了成人服务以及跨越更广泛的条件。
