Today, I was invited by the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen to present my research on digital phenotyping and how mobile and wearable technologies can be part of neurology and mental health research.
I introduced the Copenhagen Research Platform (CARP) – our open-source framework for large-scale digital health studies. CARP enables researchers to collect and analyze data from smartphones, wearables, cognitive tests, and patient-reported outcomes in a secure and GDPR-compliant way.
Through case studies, I highlighted three examples of digital phenotyping in neuroscience:
- MONARCA – Mobile health technology for mood monitoring in bipolar disorder, clinically validated in large studies.
- ICAT – The internet-based cognitive assessment tool that allows scalable, speech-based screening for cognitive impairment.
- Neuropathy Tracker – A new mobile health technology self-administered neuropathy assessment, showing promising results in early feasibility studies.
Together, these projects illustrate how digital biomarkers can support early detection, continuous monitoring, and personalized treatment in mental and neurological health.
The slides are available below.
