OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Cashing in on Network Psychiatry
The emergence of network theory in psychopathology has disrupted traditional latent disease models by reconceptualising psychiatric disorders as systems of dynamic interacting symptoms. This talk will trace the evolution of network psychiatry from its epistemological underpinnings to its contemporary computational implementations, highlighting its capacity to reframe diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. Particular attention will be given to the translational value of symptom networks in clinical psychiatry, including their application in stratified care models, digital phenotyping, and intervention targeting.
Giovanni Briganti is a tenured professor at the University of Mons, Belgium, where he serves as Chair of AI and Digital Medicine and Head of computational medicine and neuropsychiatry. At the University Hospital Centre HELORA, he serves as Head of Psychiatry. Since 2018, his personal research endeavours have been almost exclusively focused on the application of network models in psychiatry.
