Why eRECOVER Matters: Strengthening Primary and Community Mental Health Care
eRECOVER addresses one of Europe’s biggest healthcare challenges: improving access and coordination in primary mental health care. Mental health conditions affect millions of people across Europe, yet access to timely and coordinated care remains limited—especially in primary care, where most patients first seek help. eRECOVER addresses this challenge by developing a digital platform that connects healthcare providers, supports structured care pathways, and enables earlier and more targeted interventions.
The project focuses on highly prevalent conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress-related disorders, sleep disorders, and somatic symptom disorders—representing the majority of cases in primary care. By improving coordination, reducing waiting times, and enabling scalable digital support, eRECOVER contributes to more resilient, patient-centred, and sustainable healthcare systems across Europe.
