NOVA
Precision Mental Health: Navigating Outcomes Via Analytics
Bringing precision mental health to real-world psychological services: the right intervention, at the right time, by the right clinician, for each individual.
Project funded by 
NOVA Project
What is the NOVA project?
NOVA is an R&D project of the PreMind lab (Precision Mind Lab) at Villanueva University that aims to implement Precision Mental Health in real-world psychological services.
Precision mental health extends evidence-based practice by combining systematic measurement with predictive analytics. It seeks to deliver the right intervention, at the right time, by the right clinician, for a given individual, using data to inform these choices rather than relying solely on population averages or clinical intuition.
Two pillars
Data-driven decision-making
Algorithms and statistical models that turn measurements into clinically actionable recommendations.
How we work
The project unfolds across four sequential phases:
-
Clinician acceptability
Assessing acceptability and feasibility among practitioners.
-
Pragmatic trials
Pragmatic clinical trials under real-world care conditions.
-
Algorithm development
Building predictive models from clinical data.
-
Training & translation
Training clinicians and translating findings into practice and policy.
