The potential of digital behavioural tests as a diagnostic aid for psychosis

Neuropsychiatric assessment and accurate diagnosis are notoriously challenging. Psychosis represents a classical example of this challenge where many at-risk of psychotic illness individuals (often very young) are misdiagnosed and/or inappropriately treated clinically. This study demonstrates that combining digital tests with data analytics has potential for simplifying neuropsychiatric assessment.

Drug dosage modifications in 24 million in-patient prescriptions covering eight years: A Danish population-wide study of polypharmacy

This study investigates the risks of multimorbidity in polypharmarcy using real-world data from ~185 million treatment episodes. More than half of the identified drug pairs were associated with readmission, mortality or longer stays and we also observed major differences in relation to disease and laboratory tests.

Personalised lifestyle recommendations for type 2 diabetes: Design and simulation of a recommender system on UK Biobank Data

This study proposes a mobile health intervention to increase physical activity and sedentary behaviour in people with type 2 diabetes. The intervention is based on behavioural theory and uses data from activity trackers, hormonal levels and genetic variants to issue highly personalised and effective recommendations.

Stroboscopic visual training: The potential for clinical application in neurological populations

This study examines the use of strobe glasses as a training intervention with the aim to help develop protocols for use in clinical practice. There is evidence SVT can improve visual skills, with the potential to enhance aspects of physical performance such as balance. However, there is a lack of standardization across studies for SVT protocols, with limited evidence for use of SVT within clinical populations.
