Artificial Intelligence technology applied to collective well-being - implemented by Oporto Forte Group as part of the 2025 Call for Proposals
O BEWS is a system based on Artificial Intelligence that identifies well-being trends in collaborative and innovation environments, completely anonymously. The project will be implemented by Oporto Forte Group (OFG) in three coworking spaces in the city of Porto between 2025 and 2026.
About the project
An AI solution for understanding collective well-being
O BEWS (AI Burnout Early Warning System) uses Artificial Intelligence techniques to transform everyday signals into aggregated trends about the well-being of professional communities.
The tool analyses patterns, identifies variations in the emotional climate and generates indicators that support more humane, responsible and preventive management decisions.
The project was approved by the Open Call 2025, reinforcing the city's commitment to testing innovative technologies that promote quality of life and social sustainability.
Institutional and technological implementation
O Oporto Forte Group is the entity responsible for implementing the project BEWS, This will ensure that the solution is adapted to the participating spaces and that the initiative is implemented in accordance with the technical, methodological and ethical requirements defined in the programme.
The OFG ensures:
- Customising the AI system for pilot spaces
- Sensitising the communities involved
- Installation and operationalisation of the solution
- Follow-up and continuous monitoring
- Interpreting the aggregate trends identified by AI
- The development of the final report and its recommendations

Pilot objectives
Why test AI in innovation environments?
The project aims to:
- Validating an AI technology applied to collective well-being
- Identifying emotional and behavioural patterns in coworking spaces
- Creating indicators that support more balanced organisational decisions
- Explore ethical, safe and innovative approaches to occupational health
- Produce knowledge applicable to other urban contexts
- Preparing BEWS for large-scale expansion and adoption
This pilot reinforces Porto's strategy as a territory for technological experimentation with a social impact.

This pilot reinforces Porto's strategy as a territory for technological experimentation with a social impact.
O BEWS uses quick, anonymous and voluntary interactions carried out by users of the pilot spaces.
Artificial Intelligence analyses variations over time, identifies trends and presents aggregate indicators that make it possible to understand the community's emotional environment.No person can be identified - the system works exclusively with anonymous and statistical data, in full compliance with the GDPR.
Benefits Expected
For people
- Greater awareness of well-being
- Active participation in the evolution of space
- Simple, non-intrusive and anonymous technology
For organisations and managers
- Objective and easy-to-interpret indicators
- Support for decision-making and the development of internal policies
- Early identification of relevant changes in the organisational climate
For Porto's ecosystem
- Innovation applied to collective well-being
- Replicable model for urban and professional environments
- Qualified knowledge for the development of future initiatives
The results of the pilot will serve as a basis for the development of the BEWS as an independent commercial solution, available to organisations interested in understanding and improving collective well-being.
The technology will continue to be developed as an ethical, affordable, scalable and impact-orientated solution.
