Biography

Dr Jake Andrews is the Industry Engagement Manager for Medtech and Digital Technologies on behalf of the NIHR Mental Health Translational Research Collaboration Mission. The NIHR MH-TRC is led by the University of Oxford and Oxford Health, and includes a network of universities and healthcare trusts across the UK. The Mission seeks to facilitate and increase UK research on interventions and measurement in the fields of mood disorders, children and young people's mental health and early psychosis.

Jake is based in the HealthTech Research Centre for Mental Health (MindTech). Previously, Jake was a Research Fellow within MindTech for 5 years. Here, he worked mainly on the Horizon-funded RADAR-CNS project, developing use cases for wearable and smartphone technologies in mental and neurological health conditions. His work also examined applications of machine learning and large language models in diagnosis, treatment and assistance for mental, neurodevelopmental and neurological health conditions.

Prior to this, Jake worked at the University of Sheffield, exploring the use of self-monitoring in primary care and healthcare applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). Jake's PhD, completed in 2018, focused on a machine-learning approach to the prediction of depression and anxiety in older adults, along with qualitative studies to explore older adult users' and clinicians' views on the use of digital technology to maintain and monitor mental health.

Jake also holds an MA in linguistics, as part of which he explored the potential of language learning as a therapy against cognitive decline.
