How data can revolutionise mental health science | Wellcome

Data analysis is crucial for addressing major questions in health research.

But in mental health, this potential is underutilised.

By leveraging existing mental health data, researchers could unlock new insights to better understand conditions and develop more effective, targeted interventions.

That’s why Wellcome launched its Mental Health Data Prize in 2022.

In this video, Wellcome's Data Prize Manager, Ekin Bolukbasi, and members of the three winning teams reflect on the prize and the transformative potential of data in mental health science.
