Research Group: Timely
Biography
Dr Anna Moore is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, Assistant Professor in Child Psychiatry and Medical Informatics in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge and Clinical Consultant in Paediatric Psychological Medicine. Dr. Moore’s group, Timely, is developing a new preventative approach for managing children’s mental health problems. The Timely team builds predictive technologies for the early identification of children's mental health problems in the community, which allow them to quickly access the right help and support according to their needs and preferences. To make this possible, the Timely team is building the infrastructure and systems required to enable rapid digital innovation and implementation in paediatrics. This includes creating CADRE (Child & Adolescent Data Resource) a research data platform to safely bring together routinely collected data that is usually in silos in health education and social care systems, de-identifying it and making it available for ethically approved research and innovation. Working with the Mental Health Mission, CADRE is being extended to include a network across five cities across the UK. To include genomics data, Dr. Moore leads the NIHR BioResource’s D-CYPHR (DNA – children and young people’s health resource), which is recruiting the first recallable community of children (0-15y) volunteering participate in childhood health and genetics research. Dr. Moore has a history in health services improvement, leading the development and implementation of i-THRIVE, a whole system, integrated mental health system for children and young people – over 60% of children in the UK now live in regions adopting the approach.
