Held the kick-off meeting today for our #NHMRC Centre of Excellence in Depression Treatment Precision ('CRE Precision'). Our cross-disciplinary team strives for a future where precision in #depression treatment is the norm, not the exception. Let the journey begin!
What better way to spend a rainy Saturday than listening to @ak_poorni share great insights into normative modelling of computational parameters in depression #ComputationalPsychiatry #OHBM24

Monster turn out today for the #ISRII12 digital phenotyping and open science consensus meeting led by @AlexisWhitton @bridianne @HM_Christensen with amazing talks by @alexfeuillet on @BiAffect and @ChrisWebbPhD on new digital phenotyping findings
@TheISRII @blackdoginst @UNSW
Amazing work Taylor, so very well deserved!
Very thankful for the travel award to support attendance at #ISRII12 this year and present new digital phenotyping findings on typing behaviour @TheISRII @blackdoginst @UNSW
Thrilled at the turnout at our Scientific Consensus Meeting on open science in digital phenotyping at #isrii12. Thanks to @alexfeuillet and @ChrisWebbPhD for sharing insights from their work, & the audience for such an incredible discussion @blackdoginst @wellcometrust @nhmrc
@HM_Christensen calling for a shake-up in her keynote at #isrii12. We need to better understand the role of technology on the health and wellbeing of society, the way we live, work and socialise.

Is universal screening of #anxiety and #depression in Australian secondary schools associated with #mentalhealth related harms? 🔍🧠🏫

So proud to announce the official launch of Mello - a free, evidence-based app to help the 1.3 million young Australians struggling with mental ill-health. The app works by targeting stuck thinking (worry/rumination). Download it in Oz for free - check out mello.org.au/
We're excited to introduce Orygen Digital's newest innovation, Mello: a free app designed to address stuck thinking.
It combines practical techniques with tailored therapy activities – and a recent trial found it eased stuck thinking for 83% of users.

Excited to share our new study, which explores why people expend #effort. We use these insights to understand whether common or unique factors contribute to effort-related symptoms (eg, apathy) among individuals with #mood & #psychotic disorders 1/n. academic.oup.com/schizophren…
These findings highlight the potential for computational phenotyping in tailoring interventions. Eg, for people with certain computational phenotypes, enhancing reward/value sensitivity not be effective for effort-related symptoms. Working memory may also need to be targeted. 9/n
