About Intrepid

INTREPID project aims at developing a multi-sensor wearable system for the treatment of phobias and situational anxiety. INTREPID project actively contributes to the treatment of phobias in an unobtrusive, personalized and intelligent manner.

The wearable system will be a lightweight device with efficiently powered computation capabilities, which does not interfere with a person's ordinary comfort or activities. It will incorporate emotional intelligence, via a multi-sensor fusion system able to sense the underlying phobias states, and a virtual environment that based on machine's intelligent decisions will virtually expose the patient in situations that help him to learn how to overcome his phobia. In addition, the wearable system will communicate with a healthcare professional's site to provide decision support concerning the patient's therapy.

INTREPID will serve to empower Community citizens in the management of their individual health, to provide health care professionals and facilities with a reliable phobias treatment and decision support tool and to create new opportunities for the medical wearable device industry. INTREPID will build upon the well-documented increasing demand for "healthy lifestyle" products and services on the consumer side and offer potentially significant returns for those who chose to invest in the project outcome.
