WHO WE ARE: 

Akrivia Health are global leaders in the application of real-world data & evidence for mental health and dementias, providing valuable insights for research. We have privileged access to one of the largest and richest repositories of psychiatric electronic health record data in the world. We curate this database on behalf of a network of NHS mental healthcare organisations, providing a free secure data service to support research and care improvement in the NHS. With support from our NHS partners, we further anonymise this database for access by third parties, including academia, industry, charities and government organisations. This activity provides a source of sustainable revenue to support our NHS service offer, and brings the immense potential of EHR data to the global mental health and dementia research community. 

As part of our data curation service, we apply a bespoke AI-based natural language processing pipeline to structure the wealth of research-relevant data (on medications, diagnoses, symptoms, life events, social stressors, functional outcomes etc) held in free text EHR fields (e.g., clinical notes, referral letters). This creates a uniquely rich representation of patient care and condition states – one which captures the full heterogeneity and bio-psycho-social complexity of mental illness and dementia. With the unique breadth and depth of our real-world data asset, we enable our clients and collaborators to accelerate clinical trials and to identify, develop and deliver effective new drugs, devices and services to patients and caregivers. We are beginning to enrich our clinical data with biosamples through GlobalMinds - our Precision Neuroscience initiative which aims to improve understanding of the biological basis of mental health disorders and dementia to 

alleviate the burden in one of the world’s most pressing unmet medical needs. Akrivia Health is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, pregnancy, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, disability, medical history, skin colour, marital status, genetic information or parental status.
