Supervision – a Status

After finalizing exams for the spring semester, I was looking over my records on supervision. Over the years, I’ve kept a simple log of each project I’ve supervised, dating back to my return to the Department of Computer Science at the University of Aarhus (AU) in 2002. Since then, I’ve also been at the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) and currently, I’m at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). All these years (22), I’ve been supervising students mostly doing their MSc Thesis, but also BSc theses.

10+ Years of AI in Mental Health

The other day I gave a talk at the Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Advancing Patient Outcomes and Responsible Governance conference in Copenhagen. This conference was organized by the Danish Society of Engineers and the Danish Society for Healthcare Quality and enrolled a series of super interesting speakers who provided detailed insight into the state-of-the-art AI in Healthcare in Denmark.

Keynote Talk at UbiComp 2023 in Cancún, Mexico

As part of the “Mental Health: Sensing & Intervention” (MHSI) 2023 Ubicomp workshop, I was asked to give a “technical” keynote on the state of sensing in mental health. I gave a talk on “Technical Perspectives on Mobile Sensing in Mental Health” and the slides are available below, with a discussion of the key take-away messages.

Cognitive Assessment Technology

The assessment of cognitive functioning is core to most mental health and chronic conditions. Cognitive problems are one of the most critical comorbidities of many diseases. Hence, it is essential to be able to assess cognitive functioning, such as working memory, reaction time, spatial-visual skills, executive functioning, etc.

REAFEL – Contextual ECG Monitoring and Atrial Fibrillation Detection in Cardiology

Chronic heart related diseases are a major public health issue and is the leading cause of death and hospitalization for people 65+ years. The goal of the “Reaching the Frail Elderly Patient for Optimizing Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation” (REAFEL) project was to design a patient-centric home-monitoring platform for early detection of cardiac rhythm disorders. This would allow for timely intervention and prevention of serious conditions such as stroke and repeated falls.

The CARP Mobile Sensing Framework

The CARP Mobile Sensing Framework – CAMS for short – is a programming framework for adding digital phenotyping capabilities to your mobile (health) app . CAMS is designed to support two things:

collection of sensor data from the smartphone on-board sensors and attached off-board wearable devices, and
triggering of “user tasks” such as a survey or a cognitive test.

Two Major Trends in Digital Health

Today I was invited to give a presentation to the Danish health management organization “Region of Southern Denmark” as part of their strategy conference on digital health.

I used my old paper on “Pervasive healthcare as a scientific discipline” as an outset to discuss where I see healthcare is moving – based (of course) on our research into digital health at DTU Health Tech and CACHET. Here I identify seven major trends, which I still find to be relevant. These seven trends are shown on the slide below (click on the image to download the entire slide deck).
