Mario Lawes

Dr. Mario Lawes is a Senior Data Scientist in the Scientific Evidence Group at Data4Life, a nonprofit health-tech organization headquartered in Potsdam, Germany. He is a quantitative psychologist by training who specialized in causal inference methods for observational data and in the statistical modeling of longitudinal data. In his doctoral research at Freie Universität Berlin he drew on a longitudinal study of more than 2,500 participants that integrated smartphone-based survey data with biomarker data (hair cortisol) and administrative records. At Data4Life he works across research, product, and partnerships to make health data fit for purpose, currently focusing on digitally collected patient-reported outcome measures and their standardization so that they can be used alongside routinely collected health data.
