Enric Garcia Torrents

I am a physician-scientist (MD-PhD) in training: a doctoral researcher at the Medical Anthropology Research Center, Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain), a medical student at the University of Barcelona, and an assistant professor at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, working at the interface between social and health sciences with support from the Spanish Ministry of Universities until October 2026.

My main tasks as a medical anthropologist and cognitive scientist specialized in mental health are: assessing ways to eliminate coercion in mental health settings through patient and stakeholders engagement; translating bleeding-edge research into the best-practice protocols necessary to apply personalized, evidence-based techniques to build up habits for optimal performance, acuity and resilience; and the curation of a knowledge base and the development of an open-source decision support system to ensure the best solutions are identified and properly presented to all parties involved.
