In the European Union alone, around 165 million people are affected by a brain disorder. Around 1 in 3 people are estimated to eventually suffer from a neurological or mental disorder. The Multidisciplinary Expert System for the Assessment & Management of Complex Brain Disorders (MES-CoBraD) project aims to improve the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes of complex brain disorders, such as epilepsy, dementia, and sleep disorders. The work of this project was mainly aimed at addressing these issues by focusing on improving the tools available to researchers both to conduct traditional and AI research and to gather usable data from their patients, ready for use by themselves and other researchers in a fast and efficient process. In addition, the project also conducted research on aspects of complex brain disorders research such as detection using novel techniques and the impact on patients. This research was conducted by taking advantage of the gathered data and the tools developed during the project’s course.\nTo contribute to this, the MES-CoBraD project created a unified online accessible platform that anyone can use, which hosts most of the tools developed during its development. This platform allows researchers to gather data, upload data, pre-process them, set up and save workflows that describe common or novel research or therapeutic processes and analyse them using the over 100 analytics techniques present in the platform. This whole process is completed in the researchers’ browser without needing any specific technical knowledge regarding the installation and maintenance of the underlying tools, nor, more importantly, the need for highly demanding computational resources. The platform, using the semi-automated tools, allows researchers to easily adjust and repeat processes, enhancing their efficiency and their capabilities.
