“Digital phenotyping – Technologies for collection and identification of digital biomarkers in neurology and mental health”
Abstract: It has been more than ten years since smartphones became widely available as an open platform, and they have since been used for creating novel personalized health technologies. Wearable sensor technologies are increasingly being applied to continuously collect physiological and behavioral data. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of "Digital Phenotyping," which utilizes this wealth of data to identify "Digital Biomarkers." I will provide examples from our research into digital phenotyping in neurology and mental health over the last 10 years and finish with an overview of our current research and the technologies we have developed, which are publicly available and open-sourced.
Bio: Jakob E. Bardram, MSc, PhD in computer science, is a professor at the Department of Health Technology at the Technical University of Denmark and the head of the Digital Health research section. His main research areas are software architecture, mobile & ubiquitous computing, and human-computer interaction. His research focuses on applications within healthcare, ranging from interactive displays for clinical logistics in hospitals to digital phenotyping in psychiatry, neurology, cardiology, and diabetes. He is the principal software architect of the Copenhagen Research Platform (CARP) for digital phenotyping and the CARP Mobile Sensing framework for mobile and wearable sensing. He is also an active entrepreneur and co-founder of Cetrea and Monsenso, where he has served as a board member and in different C-level roles, including CEO and CTO.
