Presentation title: "Predicting daily mood from passive wearable and smartphone data in major depressive disorder: secondary analysis of the RADAR-MDD study"

This colloquium brings together international experts to discuss predicting affective recurrences. The format prioritises in-depth discussion: 30-minute presentations followed by 20-minute discussions, with additional opportunities for exchanging ideas during coffee breaks, lunches and dinner.

The event will last one and a half days, with speakers from abroad arriving Wednesday evening for dinner. Participation is limited to ten speakers and forty audience members to facilitate expert discussion. Travel expenses and meals will be covered for speakers.

This symposium brings together five applied case studies exploring how researchers, communities, policy partners and practitioners can work together to shape behavioural science research and public health practice.

We will share learning from work on: co-producing research agendas with communities with historically low trust in institutions; developing public health guidance during avian influenza outbreaks; co-designing a PhD project on adolescent vaccine uptake; public engagement on loneliness with older adults from ethnically diverse groups; co-creating and evaluating iGAS public health messaging with people experiencing homelessness and people who inject drugs. The symposium reflects on the practical realities of partnership working, including trust building, power dynamics, time pressures and translating behavioural science into policy and practice.
