Prof
Will is a Professor of Digital Epidemiology, Director of the Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis at the University of Manchester and an honorary consultant rheumatologist at Salford Royal Hospital, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. He is a Turing Fellow and co-Director for the International Centre for Translational Research in Digital Health across the Universities of Manchester, Melbourne and Toronto.
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 include Cloudy with a Chance of Pain, REMORA (Remote Monitoring of RA) and Assembling the Data Jigsaw.
Will is a member of MRC's Population and Systems Medicine Board and chairs the Scientific Advisory Board for Our Future Health.
