Physical and Mental Stability in Extreme Situations – Physical Models for Understanding Health Stability

The project is dedicated to investigating how mental stability and health-related quality of life change over time for individual persons. Changes that throw a previously stable daily life out of balance—or even push it to the brink of instability—and their effects on human health will be a central focus of this interdisciplinary study. This research project brings together expertise from the fields of psychotherapy, psychosomatics, medicine, and physics. The mental stability of participants is assessed using a time series and analyzed in real time using physical models. Drawing on the critical behavior of physical systems near phase transitions, we aim to identify patterns in the empirical data that indicate the onset of a transition. We hope that this real-time analysis will yield significant benefits for preventive health measures.
