Programme details
As life expectancy rises, maintaining cognitive and mental health becomes a growing personal, family, and societal challenge.
Cognitive decline, chronic stress, and attention-related issues already affect a significant portion of the population all over the world, and the cost is high, both emotionally and economically.
Mental health is no longer just about illness and therapy. It’s about building daily resilience, fostering cognitive vitality, and enhancing interpersonal skills through continuous, proactive support.
The 2025 World Expo is the perfect venue to explore how innovative tools – including biofeedback, neurofeedback, virtual reality, and their integration – are being integrated into everyday life to support mental health at work and beyond. These solutions draw on both cutting-edge science and thousands of years of traditional practices.
