The results will be delivered to the clinician’s iPad and will indicate the likelihood of a given clinical or functional outcome. The tool will have 3 clinical applications.
Once developed, the tool will be validated in 2 large scale naturalistic studies using the consortium’s extensive network of centres. The validated tool will then be disseminated to clinical centres across the EU.
The PSYSCAN project involves a world-class consortium of experts on Neuroimaging and Psychiatry that unites academic centres, SME’s with image processing and computerised testing expertise, a large medical device provider, and the pharmaceutical industry. The consortium is thus ideally suited to translating expertise and knowledge in Neuroimaging to build a tool that can be used to improve the care of patients with psychiatric disorders.
These pages provide you with some general information about psychotic disorders. The project is coordinated by King´s College (KCL). Project Coordinator is Professor Philip McGuire, Professor of Psychiatry & Cognitive Neuroscience in the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist in the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust.
