Subject of the current application for EU funding is a high tech multimedia platform with specialised hardware for online psychological consultations, webinars and professional video trainings that will enable the offering of an innovative for the world market portfolio of online services in the fast-growing niche market of tele medicine and, more specifically, for tele psychology. The portfolio includes the following mix of services: • Online psychology consultations offered via videoconferencing by a wide network of certified psychologists to clients located in any part of the world; • Online seminars (e.g. webinars) on a particular topic suitable for a specific group of people; • Online professional video trainings on a more common psychological topic suitable for a larger group of audience; • Comprehensive digital library with information on different psychological topics in the form of articles, digital exercises, videos, and other digital forms of presentation; The main target group are representatives of a large niche market- immigrants who want to use the services of a psychologist in their native language but do not have access to one in the foreign country they reside. The second target group are people who cannot pay a physical visit to the psychologist's office but do need a consultation, for instance, people with extremely busy schedules, those who live in rural areas, stay-at-home mothers, handicapped people and all others who simply cannot make the time or have distance barriers. Initially, the services will be offered by a minimum of 150 certified Bulgarian psychologists to more than 60 000 end users located in different parts of the world. The project will allow for the launch of a worldwide innovation, internally developed by the entity-candidate that is planned to be introduced initially on the Bulgarian speaking market, and later replicated to other markets in the world.
