Labpsitec Valencia's research focuses mainly on the field of psychopathology, evaluation and treatment of psychological disorders, as well as on the promotion of well-being and quality of life in different populations. In the last 25 years, this group has focused on the possibilities that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can offer to Clinical and Health Psychology, and it is currently an international leader in the development and validation of ICT-based applications in this field. In this context, Labpsitec Valencia is a pioneer in the development of virtual reality (VR) applications for the treatment of emotional disorders and body image issues present in eating disorders. Regarding the use of the Internet, Labpsitec Valencia has been working in the field of Telepsychology for 20 years, being a pioneer in integrating VR solutions in applications aimed at the treatment of various problems. The group's work within the European project "Online Predictive Tools for Intervention in Mental Illness" (OPTIMI), in which online systems for the prevention of depression are being developed, should be highlighted.

The group's work within the European project "Online Predictive Tools for Intervention in Mental Illness" (OPTIMI), in which online systems for the prevention of depression are being developed, should be highlighted. This application is currently being tested within another European project (E-COMPARED). Similarly, new interventions for the promotion of resilience and the treatment of adaptive problems are being developed in another H2020-funded project (I-CARE). Work has also been carried out on an application aimed at offering the elderly a technological solution to improve their emotional state (MAYODOMO). This solution is currently part of the European project EHCOBUTLER and forms part of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EPI- AHA). Another aspect to highlight are the developments that have been made in the field of obesity and healthy lifestyles, such as the ETIOBE platform, for the treatment of childhood obesity, or the ¿Vivir mejor¿ programme, for people with hypertension and overweight problems. The group is currently participating in the CIBER action in the area of Biomedicine and Health Sciences (www.ciberobn.es), leading one of the Ciber-OBN research groups. Labpsitec Valencia has participated in more than 50 research projects financed by regional, national and European funds. We have been the PI of the PROMOSAM Network of Excellence (PSI2014-56303-REDT) funded by the MINECO (Ministry of Economy), which has just concluded, and we are carrying out several projects funded by both the Valencian Community, the national R&D&I plan and the European Commission, as well as other projects funded by private entities. The results of all this research have been presented at national and international conferences, and have given rise to more than 200 articles published in journals with an impact index. Books and book chapters have also been published. In general, and in summary, Labpsitec Valencia's main interest has always been in the field of Mental Health, trying to go deeply into the description and understanding of mental disorders, and in the development of effective treatments.
