The project also sought to integrate survivor voices in research by enabling survivors to actively document their individual experiences and assess their own needs and goals via a smartphone app (called MeL) over a four-month period. Subsequently, the data generated by survivors underwent analysis using NLP techniques.

By leveraging AI techniques, particularly NLP, this research emphasises the potential advantages of using technology to handle large volumes of data and bypass manual
analysis to inform insights and proposals regarding survivor needs. It also highlights technology as a new avenue for survivors to actively shape support services and
policy recommendations.
