SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Biofunctional Materials Research Lab: Overview of sensors for stress related molecular markers
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. George Ayankojo \nStress is a complex physiological response that triggers the release of numerous biochemical mediators regulating the neuroendocrine and immune systems. The monitoring of stress-related molecular markers has gained increasing attention due to the strong association between prolonged stress and the development of metabolic disorders\, cardiovascular diseases\, and mental health conditions. This lecture will present an overview of key molecular biomarkers involved in both acute and chronic stress responses. Particular focus will be placed on recent advances in non-invasive detection strategies including wearable and point-of-care sensing technologies for real-time health monitoring. In addition\, the presentation will highlight the contributions of the TalTech Biofunctional Materials Laboratory to this field\, particularly in the development of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based synthetic receptors for stress biomarker detection. Finally\, the talk will conclude with a perspective on future directions in stress biomarker sensing\, including the integration of robust synthetic receptors into wearable devices for continuous\, non-invasive monitoring of human stress physiology.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar University of Tartu Research Group on Well-Being Studies: Rethinking Well-being: A Multidimensional Approach
DESCRIPTION:In the Estonian Education 2035 vision document\, well-being is defined as a process that manifests in people’s overall sense of self-efficacy and in harmonious relationships with the social\, natural\, spiritual\, and technological living environment. Oliver Nahkur\, a member of the Well-being Research Group\, introduces a newly launched research and development project titled “Creating a Conceptual Model of Children’s Well-being in Estonia and Developing Its Indicators.” Dagmar Kutsar\, in turn\, discusses the multidimensional approach to well-being (including individual agency and co-creation of well-being across different levels of societal functioning and areas of social life). She invites reflection on the applicability of the recently developed interdisciplinary well-being model—spanning the life course and various domains—in striving toward human flourishing.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Emotional Landscapes: Where Happiness Lives and How to Serve It on Your Plate
DESCRIPTION:At the seminar\, Kadri Leetmaa\, Anto Aasa\, and Jürgen Pikk from the Social-Spatial Context Research Group\, and Kairi Kreegipuu from the Brain and Cognition Research Group will speak. \nThis presentation explores how the social and physical characteristics of people’s living environments shape their mental health and life satisfaction. Using mental health and contextual data from the Estonian Population Mental Health Study (2021–2022)\, we identify which environmental factors—ranging from neighbourhood social characteristics to green space availability—exert the strongest influence on wellbeing\, and assess how these measured contextual indicators compare to individuals’ sociodemographic and psychological profiles in explaining mental health outcomes. We also compare the effects of perceived greenspace exposure with objectively measured greenspace metrics\, showing that the two are not directly related and operate through different pathways in shaping wellbeing.

SUMMARY:The Building Blocks of Resilience: How Connection and Regulation Protect Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Registration is open here. \nThe symposium will take place at Tallinn University’s Baltic Film\, Media and Arts School (BFM)\, Narva mnt 27\, room N-407\, and on Zoom\, depending on the participation option you selected in the registration form. \nHuman resilience is built on connection and the capacity to regulate our emotions. This symposium brings together experts from public health\, psychology\, and media studies to examine how connection and emotion regulation support mental well-being across diverse populations and communities. Broad topics include the growing need to understand vulnerability and strengthen resilience in modern society (Merike Sisask)\, how adapting our emotion regulation to different situations supports resilience (Kaitlyn Werner)\, the role of regulation in experiences of solitude and mental health (Thuyvy Nguyen)\, and how these dynamics unfold in digital communities (Katrin Tiidenberg). Together\, the talks reveal how understanding connection and regulation can strengthen mental health across diverse populations and contexts. \nDr Thuy-vy T. Nguyen is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Durham University (UK) and the Principal Investigator of the Solitude Lab. Her pioneering research examines how spending time alone (solitude) affects emotions\, thoughts\, and wellbeing\, and she has co-authored the book Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone. \nDr Kaitlyn M. Werner is a Research Fellow in Affective Psychology at University of Tartu. Her interdisciplinary work uses multi-method approaches to explore self-regulation\, emotion regulation\, measurement\, and well-being across contexts\, emphasizing advanced quantitative methods and reproducible research practices. \nProf Katrin Tiidenberg is Professor of Participatory Culture at the Baltic Film\, Media and Arts School\, part of Tallinn University. Her research focuses on people’s social-media practices — especially visuality\, sex\, political participation — and interrogates identity\, community\, norms and power. She leads major international projects\, including on digital trust and technologies of wellbeing. \nProf Merike Sisask is a Professor of Social Health Care at the School of Governance\, Law and Society (SOGOLAS) of Tallinn University and a board member of the Estonian-Swedish Mental Health and Suicidology Institute (ERSI). She was the editor-in-chief of the Estonian Human Development Report 2023 “Mental Health and Well-being”. Her main research areas include the social determinants of mental health and well-being\, suicide prevention\, and community-based mental health prevention programmes and their evaluation. \n\nProgram: \n11-13 Presentations \n13-13:30 Lunch \n13:30-14:30 Panel discussion

SUMMARY:EstWell visitor seminarEconomic evaluations – in science and practice
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare decisions rely not only on clinical effectiveness but also on whether interventions provide value for the resources they require. Full economic evaluations offer a structured way to guide these choices by weighing both costs and consequences. \n\n\nIn this combined lecture\, we will examine the limits of clinical trial data and highlight the role of decision modelling in filling evidence gaps. We’ll consider when to develop core models versus adapt existing ones\, with practical examples\, and then walk through the typical HTA submission process. Finally\, we will look at the European HTA framework of 2025\, and its implications for research and practice. \n\n\nRiina Hallik (MSc\, MMSc\, RN) is a lecturer and master thesis supervisor in TalTech’s Digital Health curriculum and a member of the ethics committee of the Health Development Institute (TAI). In addition\, co-founder of two Estonian digital health startups and a mentor. She has 12+ years of experience in research projects and was Estonian representative in European Taskforce for Harmonised Evaluation of Digital Medical Devices (DMDs) at EIT Health. \n\n\nRiina will cover the following topics: what economic evaluations are and why they are needed\, the main methods of full economic evaluation\, and the limitations of using clinical trial data \n\n\nChiara Malmberg (MMSc) is a research manager at IHE (The Swedish Institute for Health Economics) and also several years of experience also in Mapi Group and ICON plc. In total she has 10+ years consulting experience in working with health economic studies\, market access and HTAs. She has primarily worked with systematic literature reviews\, health economic modelling as well as submissions to HTA organisations within Europe and Canada. Recent years focus has been on economic modelling including early economic models\, core model development as well as model adaptations focusing on the Nordic countries. \n\n\n\nChiara will cover the purpose and role of decision modelling\, provide an overview of core models versus model adaptation with examples\, explain the typical HTA submission process\, and give an overview of European HTA 2025.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Vascular Well-being of Renal Replacement Therapy Patients – Can Science Turn Back the Clock?
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will be conducted by Annika Adoberg\, a PhD student and Junior Researcher at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering\, Department of Health Technologies\, TalTech. Annika Adoberg is part of the Centre of Excellence research group on sensor technologies in biomedical engineering. \nChronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant challenge not only to physical health but also to social and psychological well-being\, especially in situations where dialysis becomes the only option for survival for the patient. CKD is not limited to the accumulation of uremic toxins and persistent microinflammation\, but also provides a model for studying accelerated aging. Vascular calcification in CKD patients is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and has implications for mental health and cognitive function. Elucidating its mechanisms and translating this knowledge into prevention and treatment strategies is a scientific priority and the creation of innovative solutions will help improve the quality of life of CKD patients and hold promise for promoting the future well-being of patients.

DESCRIPTION:Location: EBS Tallinn (A.Lauteri 3\, room 415) \nOn September 17\, we will welcome Professor Mark Williams\, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology and Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford\, for a fireside chat with researchers. This is a pre-registration event. All the researchers from EstWell and participants from TOKO and Vaikuseminutid are warmly welcome to attend. \nMark Williams is a leading figure in clinical psychology and the founding director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (2008–2013). He is widely recognised for co-developing mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). His research has focused on psychological models and the treatment of recurrent depression\, as well as the experimental cognitive psychology of processes that increase the risk of suicidality. A central aim of his work has been the prevention of suicidal depression through mindfulness-based approaches. \nThis informal discussion offers researchers an opportunity to reflect on the intersections of science\, clinical practice\, and lived experience. The conversation will be moderated by Maris Vainre and will allow space for both dialogue and questions.

SUMMARY:EstWell Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The annual grand gathering of the members and friends of the Centre of Excellence for Well-Being Sciences \nEstWell Annual Conference Programme* \n*Sessions marked with ENG are held in English; all others are in Estonian. The programme may have changes. \n\n        \n        \n            25 August\n        \n        \n            \nModerator Merike Sisask \n10.30 Welcome coffee and snacks \n11.00 Introduction to the conference \n11.30 Introduction to the Centre of Excellence\, Andero Uusberg \n12.00 Keynote of the day: Kaytlin Werner – Self-Regulation in Context: Why Managing Our Emotions and Behaviors Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All (ENG) \nWhether we’re managing stress\, resisting temptation\, or working toward long-term goals\, self-regulation is rarely as simple as choosing one strategy\, using it\, and then disengaging – instead\, success often depends on context. In this talk\, I share findings from my research on three key processes: strategy repertoire (the tools we have available when pursuing our goals)\, regulatory flexibility (the benefits of selecting the right tool for the right moment)\, and polyregulation (combining multiple strategies within a single regulation episode). Together\, these studies reveal that there is no single “best” way to regulate our emotions and behaviour. Instead\, effective self-regulation comes from matching the right strategies and tactics to the situation at hand. I’ll close by discussing how these insights can inform the development of personalized\, real-time interventions designed to support people’s regulation efforts in daily life. \nKaytlin Werner’s research integrates the fields of emotion and motivation regulation using experience sampling and experimental methods. After postdoctoral fellowships in Toronto\, Oregon\, and Stanford\, and before starting her professorship in Adelaide\, Kaytlin will join the University of Tartu’s Affective and Regulatory Processes Lab for a year. \n13.00 Lunch \n14.00 Breakthrough projects\, session chair Andero Uusberg \nWhat are the breakthrough projects (LMP) of the Centre of Excellence? How are the ongoing projects progressing\, and what new ones could be initiated? This session serves as an introduction to the LMP workshops on Tuesday. \n15.00 Coffee break \n15.15 New applications\, session chair Taavi Tillmann \nWhat new useful applications have EstWell researchers launched this season? \n\nPersonality app “Personomist”\, Kätlin Anni\nBiosensing in stepped mental health services\, Ivo Fridolin and Merike Sisask\nDatabase of assessment instruments\, Tuuli Ruus\n\n16.15 Poster conference\, session chair Merike Sisask (ENG) \nWhat research results have EstWell PhD students taken out into the world this season? \n18.00 Dinner \n19.00 Outdoor landscape game \n21.00 Board Games  \n        \n        \n     \n\n        \n        \n            26 August\n        \n        \n            \nModerator Uku Vainik \n7.30 Well-being Run & Walk – starting in front of Pühajärve Spa \n9.30 Keynote of the day: Anu Realo (ENG) \nAnu Realo (PhD in Psychology) is a personality and cross-cultural psychologist. She is a Professor at the University of Warwick and Tallinn University\, as well as a Visiting Professor at the University of Tartu. Her research focuses on cultural and individual variation in personality traits\, subjective well-being\, values\, and social capital. She currently leads a major project on sustainable futures\, funded by the European Commission. In her talk\, she will discuss her research on subjective well-being both within and between individuals and cultures. \n10.30 Coffee break \n10.45 New data collections\, session chair Kelli Lehto \nWhat new data collections are being developed by researchers and partners of the Centre of Excellence? \n\nLongEstWell\, Mare Ainsaar\nUpcoming “Cognitive Work” study by the Estonian Biobank\, Uku Vainik\nLongEstWell in the Health Portal\, Peeter Ross and Kadi Lubi\nMental well-being app Mentastic\, Ain Aaviksoo\n\n12.05 Lunch \n13.00 Workshops \n\nWorkshop “Policy analysis – how this is done?” Triin Lauri (ENG)Curious about what makes a policy work? Wondering how to study not just what happens\, but why – and for whom?\n\nThis interactive 1.5-hour workshop explores key tools for analysing policies in welfare and education. It’s designed not just for political scientists\, but for all social researchers interested in real-world effects. \nWe’ll ask:When and why use Difference-in-Differences?What is a Regression Discontinuity Design\, and when does it shine?What’s configurational analysis (like QCA) – and is it for those who think policy is messy? (Spoiler: yes)How can we assess feasibility – and predict whether a policy can or should work?What do Street-Level Bureaucrats have to do with it – and how do they shape what policies actually become? \nNo matter your disciplinary angle – sociology\, education\, economics\, public health – policy questions will find you. This workshop helps you think more clearly about what counts as good evidence\, how to ask sharper questions\, and how to turn insights into useful policy advice. \n2. Workshop “Human-centred and personalised prevention – recipe for success or shortcut to failure?” Karin Streimann\, Triin Vilms (EST)National and international strategies\, development plans\, and funding schemes increasingly highlight the need for novel\, human-centred solutions to prevent and address complex societal problems. Preventive research has also focused largely on the individual or micro-level environment and on developing and testing solutions in those contexts. This approach assumes that complex problems can be prevented or mitigated without changing the surrounding systems. This workshop will discuss: \nHow does the lens of justice and equity relate to human-centred preventive solutions?What are the disciplinary and level-based differences in approaching and influencing problems?Which types of solutions are current research and development focused on\, and where should the future focus lie – on influencing individual competencies and behaviour or on systemic factors such as environmental restructuring\, pricing and tax policies\, or regulations?How can we shift the perspective from human-centred to system-focused prevention? Do we see a need for this\, and what role can we play in this transition? \n3. Workshop “Inclusive Research Design in the Field of Mental Health and Well-Being” Merike Sisask (EST) \nThe Social Health Research Group invites you to take part in a workshop where we will explore how to make research in the field of mental health and well-being inclusive throughout the entire research process – from shaping research questions and designing the study to interpreting the results and achieving societal impact. We will discuss the role of target groups in preparing and conducting the research\, interpreting data\, and disseminating findings. The workshop draws on specific experiences from international projects (DigiGen\, MENTBEST\, MINDWORK) as well as doctoral theses that have employed creative and participatory approaches. We will address the benefits and limitations of participatory research\, and highlight the importance of researchers’ creative and reflective thinking. The workshop offers space for exchanging experiences and supports participants in exploring questions and dilemmas that have emerged in the context of their own research. \n14.30 Break \n15.00 New insights into well-being from a micro perspective\, session chair Jekaterina Reut \nWhat have we newly learned about the psycho–physiological mechanisms of well-being? \n\nHealth behaviour and emotional experience\, Kenn Konstabel\nMeasuring molecular markers of mental health\, Jekaterina Reut\nLanguage models and emotion regulation\, Andero Uusberg\nHow do language and music tune the brain?\, Kairi Kreegipuu\n\n16.30 Coffee break \n16.45 Breakthrough project meetings \nParallel discussions for those interested in breakthrough projects\, sign-up during the conference \n18.30 Dinner \n20.00 Party  \n        \n        \n     \n\n        \n        \n            27 August\n        \n        \n            \nModerator Uku Vainik \n7.30 Well-being Run & Walk – starting in front of Pühajärve Spa \n9.30 Keynote of the day: Henk van Steenbergen (ENG) \nHenk van Steenbergen studies the interplay of emotion\, motivation\, stress\, and cognitive control using both psychological and neuroscientific methods. He is Associate Professor at Leiden University and head of the Affective\, Motivation and Action Lab. Research in health psychology has long suggested that positive emotions have numerous beneficial effects on health and cognition\, which may be partially attributed to their stress-buffering capabilities. In this talk\, I will highlight recent studies from my lab that demonstrate how positive emotions can mitigate stress and expand the mind. I will show how exposure to virtual nature positively impacts stress-related physiology and helps buffer stress reactivity when participants face stressful tasks. In line with the idea that positive affect can open the mind and broaden the scope of attention\, I will then present evidence for the role of endogenous opioids in this modulation. Finally\, I will demonstrate how a unique micro-level perspective on studying stress can enhance our understanding of the temporal dynamics of integral affect triggered by cognitive tasks. This approach aids in comprehending how stress arises and potentially predicting and understanding resilient functioning.   \n10.30-10.45 Coffee break \n10.45-12.15 New approaches to familiar problems\, session chair Rene Mõttus \nWhat have we newly learned about the large-scale patterns of well-being? \n\nGenetic links between adult ADHD symptoms and well-being and health\, Triinu Varvas\nHow to Support Well-Being through Urban Nature? Book Presentation “Söödav Linn 2: 15 aastat Eesti linnaaianduse arengut”\, Bianka Plüschke-Altof\nMapping school-based prevention ecosystems\, Eike Siilbek\nHealth meaning-making in social media\, Katrin Tiidenberg\n\n12.15 Hotel check-out \n12.30 Lunch \n13.30 Workshops \n\nWorkshop “Digital agile testing for interventions” Taavi Tillmann (ENG)Digital health and well-being services can be implemented on a spectrum. On one end\, we have rigorous evidence-based purists who want large trials before any roll-out. On the other\, there are those advocating for earlier implementation based on public demand\, political momentum\, expert opinion\, or perceived low risk.\n\nMost real-world cases land somewhere in between – with opportunities to test what works. Digital interventions allow us to run multiple agile experiments in quick succession due to short feedback cycles. \nTaavi will share a case of running four agile trials within four weeks during a London digital service rollout\, showing how tweaks to SMS and postal messages (including “final reminder” phrasing) dramatically improved uptake. The workshop invites participants to explore how we could apply such agile methods when introducing new services. \n2. Workshop “Practical AI tools for researchers – current landscape” Kari Kuulman (EST)Artificial intelligence is no longer futuristic hype – it’s a daily tool that can reshape how we do research. But which tools should we use\, and how can we smoothly integrate AI into research\, teaching\, and supervision workflows? \n15.00 Coffee break \n15.30 PhD students networking session (ENG) / Open Council Meeting \n17.00 End of conference

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Professor Ivo Fridolin: What is the benefit of sensor technologies to wellbeing sciences?
DESCRIPTION:Well-being sciences are classically associated with the fields such as psychology\, public health and social sciences. This is also reflected in the structure of EstWell\, where the majority of research groups are representatives of these fields. However\, innovation has more favorable opportunities to emerge in an interdisciplinary research environment. The research group Sensor Technologies in Biomedical Engineering at the Department of Health Technologies of Tallinn University of Technology mainly cultivates engineering science\, helping to strengthen the cross-disciplinary dimension in the center of excellence for well-being sciences. \nDevelopments in sensor technologies\, which enable more miniaturized\, portable and non-invasive biomonitoring\, offer several interesting options also in the direction of well-being sciences. The lecture aims to reflect this – for example\, how sensor technologies could help improve the well-being of patients on end-stage renal replacement therapy and how the photoplethysmographic signal could be used for individual-based assessment of stress levels. It also provides a brief insight into the question “Does the small research group at Tallinn University of Technology have a role in the discovery and patenting of new metabolic biomarkers in the current frenzy of ‘omics’ research?”

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar  Associate Professor Maie Bachmann: Making Sense of Brain Signals with EEG Markers
DESCRIPTION:Brain signals recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) may look like random noise at first glance\, yet within this “noise” lies valuable information about our mental state. To uncover it\, we develop and apply a variety of EEG markers. In the seminar I will present our latest results— which markers have proven more effective\, what we have discovered so far\, and how this approach paves the way for personalised mental-health care.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Associate Professor Triin Lauri: From School Choice to Political Choice
DESCRIPTION:Why does the issue of school choice tend to spark near-hysterical reactions every spring in Estonia\, a country committed to the comprehensive school model? How can school places be distributed in a knowledge society that values diversity of choice — without deepening educational stratification?  What are Estonians’ preferences when it comes to education\, and how much are these shaped by personal background\, fairness perceptions\, or the existing school system? And what does all of this have to do with policy feedback effects and political polarization? \nThis seminar offers a bird’s-eye view of Triin and her co-authors’ recent social scientific perspectives on education research — with a particular focus on school choice and the dynamics of educational inequality.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Leading Researcher Vitali Syritski: Molecularly imprinted polymers: towards development of sensors for medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Despite considerable progress in modern biosensors\, significant limitations remain in terms of robustness and reusability\, primarily due to the use of biologically derived recognition receptors\, which are inherently labile and often lack chemical and thermal stability. As a result\, replacing biological receptors with fully synthetic analogues has become increasingly important. \nA promising alternative is the use of materials prepared by molecular imprinting\, known as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). These materials exhibit high affinity and selectivity for their target molecules while offering advantages such as mechanical\, thermal and chemical stability as well as broad operational versatility. \nThis seminar will highlight both past and recent advances by our group in developing MIPs to meet the demands of medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar  Professor Merike Sisask: Social + health + care = well-being
DESCRIPTION:Mental health and wellbeing is not just an individual condition\, but is shaped by a combination of social relationships\, structural health support and community functioning\, among other factors. A problem- and diagnosis-centred approach to mental health focuses too much on treatment and seeks solutions from the health sector\, leaving cross-sectoral prevention in the background. The social health care research group focuses on the social determinants of mental health and preventive interventions. There are three main strands of research and development: mental health and well-being in communities across life span\, children and young people’s everyday digital lives\, suicide research.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Associate Professor Taavi Tillmann: Can low well-being make you physically ill?
DESCRIPTION:Which illnesses are more common among people with low well-being? Are these associations causal? Let’s go one step back and look at the causes of well-being\, such as a person’s physical environment\, income\, occupation\, unemployment\, educational and social resources\, experience of discrimination – if these factors increase the risk of illness\, then does this mechanism manifest itself via the “well-being” pathway\, or other pathways? Which interventions exist that can break these causal chains\, to improve well-being and prevent disease?

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Professor Kirsti Akkermann: Personality-based profiling as the way forward to understand psychopathology
DESCRIPTION:The treatment of mental health problems is related to how psychopathology is diagnosed. As people rarely fit into a single diagnostic category in terms of their symptoms and mental disorders often co-occur\, alternative models have been developed alongside traditional categorical classifications of disorders. In the seminar we aim to discuss how a dimensional approach and more specifically personality-based profiling can help to predict the symptoms\, course\, and potential treatment response.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Professor Kairi Kreegipuu: Truly National Electricity: Brain Biopotentials
DESCRIPTION:In the presentation\, I will introduce the research and recent findings of our team in the field of measuring brain biopotentials. It turns out that these psychobiological signals reflect ongoing information processing\, human states\, and sometimes even some of our national characteristics. In any case\, these are studies that cannot yet be replaced by re-analyzing information in big data repositories\, as the exploration of what  do they show is still ongoing. However\, by combining rich background information and careful experimental studies\, new opportunities for understanding humans may emerge.

SUMMARY:EstWell seminar Professor Peeter Ross: Patient Generated Health Data
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare data has traditionally been collected and stored by medical professionals. Decisions concerning a person’s health are made based on this data. In the digital age\, health data are stored in various healthcare institutions’ databases. In Estonia\, for example\, the electronic medical records of hospitals or family doctors or the Estonian Health Information System. At the same time\, these so-called health information systems mainly contain disease data\, which\, with a few exceptions\, have been collected when a person has complaints or health conditions.\nOur research group aims to find suitable data sets and tools for person-generated health data and to explore how to share this data with healthcare professionals. This would allow for an overview of a person’s health status when they are not sick \, or their chronic condition is under control and to find data patterns that would help identify potential risks and prevent the development of diseases.\nIn the first half of the seminar\, we will explore the existing digital environment for capturing and exchanging health data and information\, and in the second half\, we will add to them the part of the data generated and collected by the person himself and the research of this domain.
