Matteo Malgaroli, PhD

Our research focus is digital mental health, at the intersection of psychiatry, AI, and technology:

Digital Biomarkers: "Can we assess patients automatically to decrease providers' burden?"  NLP and affective computing to identify symptoms and mental status from naturalistic data.
Precision Psychiatry: "Can we replace heterogeneous diagnoses with data-driven alternatives?" Computational models to study individual symptoms and tease subgroups of patients, with the goal of identifying targeted treatment candidates.
Digital Delivery: "Can we leverage new technologies to improve behavioral health interventions?" New modalities to deliver therapy at scale (e.g,. messaging), and how the resulting data can be used to design within-session feedback.

CLINICAL WORK
I am a Columbia-trained clinical psychologist with expertise in stress, anxiety, depression, loss, and trauma. I am a certified clinician for PTSD (Prolonged Exposure Therapy), Prolonged Grief, and mindfulness interventions. I have experience with multiple empirically supported treatments, and my approach is tailored to the needs of each individual patient.
