Innovating the mental health industry using the Digital Phenotype for diagnosis and monitoring

Speaker: Joy Bordini, Go Healthy & co

Abstract: The current tools for diagnosis and monitoring of patients in mental health are medical visits and psychological tests, which are not only time and resource consuming but also biased, because filtered by the perception of the patient. As a consequence many researchers and psychiatrists started focusing on more objective and easy to collect data to support these repetitive tasks, inventing the concept of Digital Phenotype: the analysis of all the data we leave on the smartphone. Tons of systematic reviews have been done on the topic, but few insights are available for the clinicians operating with patients on a daily basis. By observing this situation, Go Healthy's founders decided to implement the first platform in the EU commercially available for mental health professionals, and disseminate the firsts insights about the digital markers identified.

Biography: Joy Bordini, with a background in bioinformatics, co-founded Go Healthy in 2022, driven by her passion for using AI to solve biological challenges. Noticing the ease with which tech giants like Google access mental health data compared to clinicians, she developed a platform to change this paradigm. At Go Healthy & co sagl, she leads business development, technical implementation, clinical trials, and strategic partnerships, aiming to support diagnosis and monitoring through digital behavior.
