Prof
Will is a Professor of Digital Epidemiology at the University of Manchester and an honorary consultant rheumatologist at Salford Royal Hospital, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.
His research aims to address clinically important questions by analysing data from patient populations, with particular focus on digital health data. This includes the analysis of electronic health record data from GP surgeries and from hospitals (for example, examining the safety of drugs used in rheumatology) and the collection and analysis of data direct from patients using smartphones and wearables. Examples of innovative digital health research projects and programmes include Cloudy with a Chance of Pain, REMORA (Remote Monitoring of RA) and Assembling the Data Jigsaw. He also leads the UK-wide network Health Research from Home which aims to collate and share best practice about the use of smartphones and wearables for population health research.
Will chairs the Scientific Advisory Board for Our Future Health and is a member of MRC's Population and Systems Medicine Board and Population Health Sciences Group. He is also the academic co-lead for the Greater Manchester Secure Data Environment (GM SDE).
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
