In line with recent national legislation and policy reforms, including the recently proposed Mental Health Law (2024,) there is growing recognition that these issues require not only expanded clinical services but also a deeper focus on the socio-structural determinants of mental health (Breilh, 2023; Lund et al., 2018). The Centro de Investigación y Acción en Determinación Social y Salud Mental (Center for Research and Action in Social Determination and Mental Health) or CIADES responds to this urgency by adopting a Latin American–rooted Social Determination of Health (SDnH) framework, thereby situating mental health vulnerabilities and risks within broader historical, economic, and political contexts. CIADES will work in close collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development and Family (MIDESO) and the Ministry of Health (MINSAL), to generate robust evidence and policy guidance to address the social factors that affect and produce mental health problems beyond the individual. This collaboration ensures that the Center’s research advances academic knowledge and informs public-sector strategies and interventions. In doing so, CIADES seeks to address crucial social factors, including growing economic inequalities, stigma, and social disintegration, which have direct implications for mental well-being across the lifespan. Methodologically, CIADES employs a three-by-three matrix that interlinks three social determinants— Social Exclusion and Discrimination, Environmental Factors, and Employment—with three priority populations: migrants, older adults, and people with SMI (SMI). This matrix underpins interdisciplinary research lines, integrating quantitative (e.g., epidemiological surveys, geospatial risk mapping), qualitative (e.g., multimodal and sensory ethnography, focus groups), and participatory methods. AI-driven analyses, such as natural language processing for tracking stigma on social media, and economic evaluations that assess intervention feasibility also feature prominently within the Center’s approach. The significance of this research lies in its focus on macro-structural drivers—housing insecurity, workplace discrimination, socio-environmental conflicts—and how they contribute to mental health inequities. By examining these intersecting challenges, CIADES will move beyond an exclusively clinical perspective to propose and evaluate, in close collaboration with MIDESO and MINSAL, evidence-based strategies that can be implemented at multiple levels: local (community-based initiatives), regional (intersectoral policies), and national (legislative reforms). This holistic orientation positions CIADES as a transformative force in Chile’s public policy on mental health. Once established, the Center expects to identify and integrate other social determinants and priority groups. The Center’s work will be guided by four Specific Objectives. First, Generate Evidence for Strategic Interventions and Policy Reforms involves collaborating with MIDESO and MINSAL to systematically examine socio-structural determinants—such as discrimination, environmental stressors, and employment vulnerabilities—and generate robust evidence to inform and guide future interventions and policy actions. Second, Methodological Development uses participatory and mixed-methods approaches, emphasizing community involvement and local knowledge. Third, Capacity Building trains emerging researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to apply the SDnH framework. Finally, Knowledge Dissemination and Policy Advocacy entails translating findings into policy briefs, stakeholder workshops, and legislative recommendations that foreground structural change and equitable access to the exercise of rights, and to policies, programs and services. CIADES benefits from a multidisciplinary team involving principal and associate investigators with extensive track records in mental health, social sciences, environmental studies, and policy work. Their collective experience includes leading large-scale epidemiological surveys, designing culturally relevant interventions, and influencing legislative reforms. This breadth enables the Center to integrate cutting-edge methods—such as AI-driven stigma detection and geospatial modeling—within a robust theoretical framework. By drawing on a wide range of expertise, CIADES is uniquely positioned to undertake a comprehensive agenda that links empirical research to transformative actions in policy and practice. CIADES anticipates having a significant impact at the national level by influencing discussions on the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies related to labor laws, anti-discrimination statutes, community-oriented service models, environmental regulations, urban transformations, and other public policies with an impact on mental health. In the short term, the center aims to increase recognition of the structural factors that affect the mental health of different populations, factors that are often overlooked or ignored due to the current emphasis on individual-focused approaches. Collaborating with communities, CIADES will co-design initiatives and pilot projects that serve as scalable case studies. These efforts will lead to the production of policy briefs and guidelines, offering new frameworks to understand mental health challenges and proposing context-sensitive interventions. Over the medium to long term, CIADES aims to enhance intersectoral collaboration to drive structural-level interventions able to reduce mental health disparities— positioning Chile as a regional leader in addressing mental health through a justice-based perspective. The Center places a strong emphasis on capacity building and human capital formation as integral components of its mission. Students from undergraduate to postgraduate levels will benefit from interdisciplinary training in mental health, social epidemiology, qualitative methods, participatory methods and inclusive research, and implementation and dissemination science. This approach aims to nurture a new generation of scholars, practitioners, and other stakeholders equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to advance the SDnH perspective. Furthermore, partnerships with leading international institutions, such as King’s College London and Columbia University, will facilitate knowledge exchange, foster global networks, and enhance CIADES’ reach and credibility on an international scale. Through proactive dissemination, outreach, and knowledge transfer, CIADES will engage with both public and private sectors to drive actionable change. Dissemination channels include academic publications, open-access materials, community forums, policy dialogues, and strategic communication through social media to ensure broader public penetration of the center's work. Regarding academic publications, CIADES is committed to publishing in high-impact international journals while also recognizing the strategic importance of positioning itself within Latin American and national contexts by contributing to academic journals in Spanish. Open-access materials will include the development of conceptual, methodological, and practical tools and guides, which will be freely available for public use. Community forums will serve both to share research findings and to identify emerging issues among the general population, while policy dialogues will aim to directly support and influence decision-making processes at the policy level based on the center’s research findings and experiences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Wearable technologies, which integrate advanced computing and electronics into clothing and accessories, have seen significant global adoption since the early 21st century due to the miniaturization of computational devices. These technologies offer continuous, fluid, and hands-free operations, transforming them into an extension of the body and mind. Their applications span various domains, including health and fitness, medical applications, consumer electronics, military uses, and fashion. Despite their benefits, wearable technologies present technical and ethical challenges, particularly concerning privacy, data analysis, and surveillance.
