Measurement and Personalisation in Digital Mental Health (with a Focus on Psychosis)
Professor Dan Joyce, Academic Psychiatrist researching how data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning can be applied to mental health, University of Liverpool
Lecture synopsis:
Clinicians want tools to help improve the lives of people living with mental illness. People living with mental illness want treatments that help them with their specific constellation of symptoms and consequent difficulties. Technologies, especially data-driven methods like contemporary artificial intelligence and machine learning, are frequently cited as the solution. In this talk, we will begin by briefly discussing the history of these methods in psychiatry. Then, I will argue for a more prosaic approach whereby we lower our ambitions by focusing on a foundational approach to actionable data as the starting point for measurement-based care in the service of improving people’s treatment. Given the focus of the day, I will largely use psychosis as an example.
