Paul Wicks, PhD
Paul is a neuropsychologist and expert in digital health, clinical trials, and patient centricity. For 13 years he led the R&D team at PatientsLikeMe, an online community for over 850,000 people living with medical conditions.
Specialising in clinical research using the Internet, Paul shaped the scientific validity of the platform in generating insights from patient-generated health data, and has published over 200 studies including a patient-driven observational trial of lithium in ALS, numerous patient-reported outcome measures, a “dose-response” curve for the benefits of friendship between patients, and methods for patient-centered and virtual clinical trial designs.
He has sat on the editorial boards of the BMJ, BMC Medicine, JMIR, Digital Biomarkers, The Patient, and BMJ Digital Health & AI. Prior to joining PatientsLikeMe, Paul worked at the Institute of Psychiatry (King’s College London) studying cognition and neuroimaging in ALS, with a postdoc in psychological consequences of Parkinson’s disease.
His work has been profiled by the BBC, NPR, CNN, BBC Radio 4, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. In 2011 he was awarded MIT Technology Review’s TR35 “Humanitarian of the Year” award, recognized as a TED Fellow in 2012, and joined the inaugural FLIER Program at the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2019.
