PhD Scholarship in Digital Phenotyping for Comorbid Mental Health

Kongens Lyngby

DTU Health Tech is looking for a PhD candidate in the design and development of digital phenotyping for comorbid physical and mental health. The purpose of this project is to research and identify important digital phenotypes for comorbid physical and mental health conditions, and to incorporate these in a real-time data collection and processing pipeline and data analytics setup for meaningful presentation to health professionals.

Your research will be in the field of “digital phenotyping”, i.e. the use of mobile and wearable technology for the collection of physiological, behavioural, contextual, and patient-reported data which is used to identify and extract higher-order features (called “digital biomarkers”), which again can be used for health data science analysis.
