Who are we?
The PHIDL group, led by Professor Richard Dobson, is motivated towards enabling a “panoromic” view of patients that is precise, predictive, preventative and participatory, through the integration of traditional ‘omics data with data derived from mHealth, electronic patient records, knowledge graphs. The group works closely alongside the National Institute for Health Research Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR Maudsley BRC) supporting their translational research into novel tests, treatments and technologies to understand and treat mental disorders.
Our areas of expertise
Our group brings together a range of experience in data analysis, bioinformatics, software development, systems administration, mathematics and statistics. Our multi-disciplinary team is able to develop and implement solutions for analysing and interpreting complex integrative datasets and for communicating findings to clinicians and patients. If you are interested in collaboration, please contact us.
Our projects
- RADAR-base (Remote Assessment of Disease And Relapses): An open-source platform to leverage data from wearables and mobile technologies. The main focus of RADAR-base is the scalable integration of various data sources to collect sensor data in real-time, store, manage and share this data with researchers for analysis.
- CogStack: A healthcare suite with interchangeable modules for analysing clinical data using AI to draw insights from text in or documents in an Electronic Health Records. (i.e. binary word docs, PDFs, images, text).
Where are we?
We are based in South London, in the Dept of Biostats and Health Informatics, at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London. We work closely with both KCL researchers and clinicians from South London and The Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
