Dan W Joyce

Dan Joyce is Professor of Connected Mental Health at the University of Liverpool and a consultant psychiatrist with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust. As a psychiatrist and data scientist, he is interested in how we can make use of data-driven technologies to better understand mental illness. His work looks at how we can use methods from statistical- and machine-learning in prosaic ways to deliver actionable insights to patients and clinicians. He is particularly interested in a) defining what transdiagnostic phenotyping means and how it can be achieved using clinical data that may be at best, first-approximations (or proxies) for traditional diagnostics and syndromes b) unobtrusive and low-burden measurement and tracking of clinical and health states using technology c) how to capture aspects of clinical decision making so that data-driven technology (like artificial intelligence) can be aligned with clinical practice.
