Virtual Brain Twin for personalised treatment of Psychiatric Disorders
Virtual Brain Twin
In the EU, approximately 165 million individuals struggle with mental disorders, with projections suggesting they will become the foremost economic burden in medicine by 2030. Schizophrenia, which affects 1 % of the global population, is particularly daunting. Existing antipsychotics demonstrate limited efficacy for many patients. Factors ranging from genetic predispositions to social influences complicate treatment outcomes, leaving a significant portion of sufferers with inadequate care. In this context, the EU-funded VIRTUAL BRAIN TWIN project will leverage advanced neuronal simulation, AI tools, and clinical expertise. This ecosystem guides clinicians in exploring alternative treatments like brain stimulation. With a focus on individualised care, the Virtual Brain Twin platform integrates big data and high-performance computing within the secure EBRAINS infrastructure.
