Emily Gillings
Emily is a PhD student at King’s College London, co-funded by the EPSRC DRIVE-Health and NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre. Her research is centred around digital health within the mental health sector, with particular interest in trauma-related mental disorders and their connectivity to physiology. She now specialises in using wearable data to recognise symptom changes following trauma, aiming to reduce the stigma and improve the objectivity of mental health monitoring. Her doctoral work explores the feasibility of using digital phenotyping for the recognition of different post-traumatic stress responses. Emily is interested in applying machine learning techniques to uncover patterns in recovery trajectories, ultimately contributing to more personalised, data-driven approaches to risk stratification and early intervention for those exposed to traumatic events.
