Our vision

The relationship between the mind (stress, emotional factors, psychological vulnerability) and the body (inflammation, metabolic imbalances) is directly reflected in cardiovascular risk.

High blood pressure, often ignored or inadequately treated, is one of the most common and dangerous manifestations of this psycho-biological imbalance.

Founders

Project initiators

Body and Mind is a national interdisciplinary platform, run under the Romanian Academy, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Maria Dorobanțu, which uses artificial intelligence to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hypertensive patients in Romania and brings together experts from fields related to medicine.

Team & Partners

Prof. Emerit Dr. Maria Dorobanțu

primary physician in cardiology and internal medicine, expertise in general and transesophageal echocardiography

She has over 35 years of experience in Romanian and international cardiology. She has published over 500 scientific papers and articles in international journals and specialist books, both in Romania and abroad.

Purpose

Final objectives of the project

For personalized, predictive, and integrated medicine—at the intersection of science, technology, and public health.

Predictive modeling

Understanding the risk before the disease occurs

Creating psychocardiovascular models linking stress, inflammation and early cardiovascular risk.

Digital screening

Technology for personalized prevention

Developing accessible digital tools for early detection of cardiovascular risk in apparently healthy young people.

Risk index

New tool to assess cardiovascular health

Definition of an integrative psycho-cardiovascular index, easy to apply in personalized medical screening.

Education for all

Change through knowledge

Medical and public education campaigns on hypertension, targeting both professionals and the general population.

Scientific publications

Impact research, widely disseminated

Writing and publishing doctoral theses, scientific articles and guides for patients and specialists.

Academic events

Interdisciplinary dialogue for progress

Organize conferences, workshops and courses to promote collaboration between different fields.

National data network

A solid infrastructure for the future of medicine

Building a national database that allows analysis, comparison and improvement of treatment strategies.
