At present, PEM is mainly assessed through interviews and questionnaires, while objective measures that capture how it develops in daily life are still lacking. The successful candidate will develop and apply modern data science and machine learning methods to large-scale longitudinal wearable and health data. A central aim of the project is to investigate whether patterns in wearable data can be used to identify and classify PEM and related changes in health. The work will involve methodological development and analysis of complex time-series data, with a particular focus on individual variability and real-world health data. The successful candidate will be embedded in a research group dedicated to understanding healthcare systems as complex adaptive systems and will work closely with researchers across computational health, network medicine, epidemiology, data science, and clinical research. They will have opportunities to contribute to related research beyond the immediate TRACK-PEM project and to develop collaborative methodological and scientific work within the wider research group. ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [From Bedside Beeps to Interoperable Bytes – Getting your medical devices ready to talk the IEEE 11073 language](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/771-from-bedside-beeps-to-interoperable-bytes-getting-your-medical-devices-ready-to-talk-the-ieee-11073-language) - [The Innovation Formula: Fast Prototyping, Data Analysis, and Real User Insights](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1421-the-innovation-formula-fast-prototyping-data-analysis-and-real-user-insights) - [The Neuroscience of Engineering Culture: Why Your Team’s Brains Are Crashing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2049-the-neuroscience-of-engineering-culture-why-your-team-s-brains-are-crashing) ## Related Articles - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Data Analyst Salary Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/275-data-analyst-salary-austria) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Austria – the most livable place for software developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/20-austria-the-most-livable-place-for-software-developers)
