According to a report by WHO Euro (World Health Organisation Europe), in many western countries, mental health disorders are the major cause of disability, accounting for 30% to 40% of chronic sick leaves, and costing nearly 3% of GDP. In addition to this, the Health at a Glance: Europe report states that mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and drug use disorders affect over one in six people across the European Union.

Recent years have seen increased interest in the use of artificial intelligence and other data-driven technologies to improve mental healthcare. Technology promises to bridge gaps in access to services, improve the quality of care, and deliver personalised treatments.
