IMPROVA

The IMPROVA project, funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe (Grant Agreement No. 101080934), is a multidisciplinary initiative launched in April 2023 to promote mental health and well-being among adolescents. The project aims to co-develop a culturally sensitive, modular eHealth intervention platform tailored for school settings across Europe. By engaging key stakeholders—including young people, teachers, parents, school health professionals, and policymakers—IMPROVA seeks to enable early detection of psychological distress, prevent common mental disorders, and foster resilience. Through iterative research and stakeholder dialogue, the project strives to provide scalable, evidence-based tools that support mental health promotion and prevention across diverse educational and cultural contexts.

The IMPROVA information website was developed using a data-centric architecture built on the Hugo static site framework, applying a strict separation of concerns. Page structure, language-specific content, and UI components were decoupled to allow for modular development and straightforward internationalization. Translations were managed through flat file representations, enabling initial AI-generated translations to be efficiently reviewed and corrected by native speakers. This setup supports rapid iteration and low-friction updates via simple file replacement. Interface data, including integration points with the eSano intervention platform, is also file-based, promoting clear boundaries between components and facilitating secure, maintainable interoperability. Security measures include encrypted communication and the inherent robustness of a static site architecture, which minimizes surface area for attacks. Adaptive, context-aware templating and systematic testing were essential to meeting these demands.
