Society for Ambulatory Assessment

#SAA2027 will be hosted at the University of Toronto, Canada! We are very much looking forward to seeing you there.

We’re excited to join the Society for Ambulatory Assessment (SAA) Conference @saa2026.bsky.social in Vienna next week. Stop by our posters on Monday and Tuesday!📊💬🗨️

ctsem has a GUI now -- visual, SEM-like spec, fit & diagnostics for hierarchical discrete or continuous time state space models (i.e., DSEM's). github.com/cdriveraus/c... State-space (process + measurement) and individual difference views shown. Ideas welcome! Workshop @saa2026.bsky.social

It’s still quiet at the University of Vienna (@univie.ac.at), but not for much longer. Tomorrow, the SAA2026 Conference begins, bringing together more than 400 participants from around the world. We’re looking forward to seeing the corridors fill with conversations and ideas! #SAA2026

SAA 2026 kicks of at a gorgeous location! @saa2026.bsky.social

This is what a day of running (literally and figuratively) a conference looks like in steps #SAA2026

Had the privilege to give a #SAA2026 keynote today. Showed early results from WARN-D ML competition, & EMA'd the audience on how different parts of the data—Baseline, EMA, Wearables, & Followup—contributed to predicting depression onset, with live leaderboard & two prizes. Got 220 live responses:

Wonderful #SAA2026 mentor meeting with Maya Matlack, Haya Al Sharaa, Afra Taygar (who collectively really doubled down on a single vowel!) and Chris Hughes.

On Saturday, our ECRs kicked off #SAA2026 with a treasure hunt through Vienna. It was a fun way to explore the city and get to know one another before the conference begins. Afterwards, everyone came together for drinks and great conversation. The perfect way to kick off the conference!

SAA 2026 is officially underway in Vienna! The conference opened in the historic Festsaal with a warm welcome from Prof. Laura König and SAA Head Cornelia Wrzus, followed by an engaging keynote from Prof. Eiko Fried (@eikofried.bsky.social) #SAA2026.

After a full day of sessions and conversations at #SAA2026, it was great to unwind together in the University’s historic courtyard. With cold drinks, good snacks, and plenty of opportunities to catch up, it was the perfect way to wrap up the day.
