How to read publications and check the sources
Each listed publication links to its original publisher record. A literature review, clinical study, instrument validation and book chapter serve different purposes. When reading a study, check who took part, what was measured and which limitations the authors describe.
Published work and ongoing projects are presented separately. Current work on AI does not mean that every tool has been clinically validated or is ready for use. My professional biography provides educational background. The MindCentral page describes a related but distinct area: the organisation of healthcare practice through an information system.
