项目摘要

This is a proposal to extend an existing partnership between engineering and physical science (EPS) researchers from a range of universities and the NIHR MindTech Healthcare Technology Cooperative. The aim is to explore the potential for technology to transform the management and treatment of mental health conditions, identifying underpinning EPS research challenges, and working together to address them. Mental health already accounts for 13% of the NHS budget (the highest proportion for any disease area, and growing rapidly) and is a major cause of reduced quality of life. Most care is in the community, but most of the cost is associated with unplanned hospital admissions resulting from inadequate or ineffective care. There is great potential for technology to transform care in the community - improving diagnosis, enabling stratification (identifying different sub-groups), supporting self-care, involving family and friends more effectively, and providing timely prompts and alerts for healthcare professionals. If this potential is to be realised, there are, however, significant EPS challenges to be addressed. We have established a multidisciplinary network (NewMind), involving engineering and physical science researchers, healthcare professionals, users of mental health services, representatives of mental health charities, and industry, which has grown steadily over the past 18 months to a membership of 220. We have also developed a Health Outcomes Framework and Engineering and Physical Science Research Roadmap, to inform future research. We now seek to extend the lifetime of the network, and obtain funding to support exploratory and feasibility projects.The NewMind network focuses on four broad clinical areas of major societal importance, aligned with the NIHR MindTech HTC agenda: serious mental illness, mood and affective disorder, dementia, and developmental disorders - each with clinical leadership - drawing on mental health expertise in both Nottingham (the NIHR MindTech HTC) and Manchester.We currently identify four areas of challenging EPS research required to underpin the development of effective technologies for managed self-care of mental health conditions: sensing systems for acquiring rich, 'real-time' longitudinal data; information management methods for integrating and linking heterogeneous information and data; data analytics for extracting predictive models, particularly from temporal data; and human-centric systems methods for themanaged self-care setting, providing collaborative decision-support.

这是一项提议，旨在扩展工程学与物理科学（EPS）研究人员与NIHR Mindtech Healthcare Technology合作社之间的现有合作关系。目的是探索技术改变心理健康状况的管理和治疗，确定基础EPS研究挑战并共同解决问题的潜力。心理健康已经占NHS预算的13％（任何疾病领域的比例最高，并且迅速增长），这是降低生活质量的主要原因。大多数护理都是在社区中，但是大多数费用都与不足或无效护理不足导致的未计划住院治疗有关。技术有很大的潜力可以改变社区的护理 - 改善诊断，实现分层（确定不同的子组），支持自我保健，更有效地参与家人和朋友，并为医疗保健专业人员提供及时的提示和警报。但是，如果要实现这种潜力，则需要解决重大的EPS挑战。我们已经建立了一个多学科网络（NewMind），涉及工程和物理科学研究人员，医疗保健专业人员，精神卫生服务的用户，精神卫生慈善机构的代表以及行业的代表，在过去的18个月中，成员稳步发展到220名成员。我们还开发了一项健康框架和工程学框架和工程学研究路线图，以了解未来的研究。 We now seek to extend the lifetime of the network, and obtain funding to support exploratory and feasibility projects.The NewMind network focuses on four broad clinical areas of major societal importance, aligned with the NIHR MindTech HTC agenda: serious mental illness, mood and affective disorder, dementia, and developmental disorders - each with clinical leadership - drawing on mental health expertise in both Nottingham (the NIHR MindTech HTC) and曼彻斯特。目前，我们确定了挑战性EPS研究的四个领域，以支撑用于托管心理健康状况的有效技术的开发：获取丰富的“实时”纵向数据的传感系统；集成和链接异质信息和数据的信息管理方法；用于提取预测模型的数据分析，特别是从时间数据中；和以人为中心的系统方法，用于为他们提供的自我保健设置，提供协作决策支持。
