PhD in statistical modeling and machine learning for health
The diagnosis of mental health disorders relies on subjective clinical evaluations performed using structured clinical interviews. This is also the case of depression, which is a highly heterogeneous syndrome in terms of clinical presentation, disease progression, and response to therapy. In this case, it is difficult to capture disease progression in a rigorous way when relying on clinic visits or assessments that are infrequent, incomplete, and possibly biased. The absence of objective metrics represents a limitation also for the improvement of the diagnostic process and the choice of personalized treatments. Many efforts have been made to identify markers representative of treatment response, but treating mental illness remains a trial and error approach. The proliferation of mobile devices and wearable sensors for behavioral and physiological monitoring could help address these challenges. Digital sensors can be used to continuously and unobtrusively identify relevant digital biomarkers and objectively assess disease severity and progression, providing feedback for treatment personalization.
