Our Prediction Modelling Group, under the NIHR Maudsley BRC theme Trials, Prediction and Genomics, provides a forum for researchers at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and clinicians at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust who are interested in prediction modelling applications for precision medicine.

Prediction models to support clinical decision-making have been around for a long time, but have only become possible on a large scale this century with the arrival of new data such as brain imaging, omics, clinical databases and patient health records, sensors in wearables, smartphones and the internet, and high-performance computing technology that collects, processes, stores and analyses huge amounts of information (so-called ‘big data’).

The group aims to:

• increase communication, information exchange and collaboration between researchers
• convene working groups to identify and solve problems
• develop guidelines for good practice in prediction modelling

Join the Prediction Modelling Group

To join the group and connect with like-minded researchers and clinicians, and be added to our mailing list, please send your details (name, title, department, interests) to Dr Raquel Iniesta, raquel.iniesta@kcl.ac.uk, Diana Shamsutdinova, diana.shamsutdinova@kcl.ac.uk or Dr Daniel Stahl, daniel.r.stahl@kcl.ac.uk. We are excited to welcome new perspectives and expertise to our joint efforts in advancing prediction modelling in mental health.

Our monthly Machine Learning and Prediction Modelling seminar provides researchers with an opportunity to discuss new methodologies, to present projects and to discuss problems. The group meets in person at the SGDP Centre, King's IoPPN on the third Wednesday of every month at 3pm. If you are interested in joining, please contact Ewan Carr on ewan.carr@kcl.ac.uk.

Prediction Modelling Presentations

We host monthly online presentations on Machine Learning and Prediction Modelling and their applications to solve healthcare problems. Speakers from the UK and abroad present their works on developing and/or using machine learning and prediction modelling methods to answer questions as how to choose the best treatment for a patient or how to improve the diagnosis of a disease. Talks are open to the public and attendants can join online by following the links on the event pages below.
