Furthermore, he is a PhD candidate in the innovative INTROMAT (INtroducing personalized TReatment Of Mental health problems using Adaptive Technology) study, a IKTPLUSS Lighthouse project financed by The Norwegian Research Council. The vision of INTROMAT is to improve public mental health with innovative ICT. The objective of his PhD-project is to identify predictors of relapse in bipolar disorder, analyzing time series of motor activity collected from both hospitalized patients and outpatients with nonlinear models and machine learning. The aim is to develop a clinical tool that can help monitor mood fluctuations in bipolar patients to inhibit new full-blow episodes. By background, he has an extensive experience as a clinical mental health nurse. Then he was the Norwegian coordinator of an international multicenter study, the Pharmacogenomics of Mood Stabilizer Response in Bipolar Disorder (PGBD) study. Additionally, during the last 10 years, he has been involved in the digitization of both the research and the clinical workflow in the Division of Psychiatry, Haukeland University Hospital, as well as the development of automated quality registers.
