George Punter
Co-founder, Product and Engineering · MEng, Imperial College London
George Punter is a co-founder of Condri, where he is responsible for product and engineering. He studied engineering at Imperial College London and has spent the decade since building mental health software.
He was CTO at Baseline, a bipolar self-management app, and then Head of Product and Engineering at Sway Health, one of the leading virtual bipolar clinics in the US. Condri is his latest mental health product.
At Condri he builds and maintains the health anxiety research corpus: every paper PubMed indexes on the condition, the pipeline that checks each published figure against its source abstract, and the verification ledger that records what was found and what was wrong. That work is engineering rather than clinical, and it is deliberately kept separate from the clinical judgement of the psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors Condri works with.
He recently became a father, which he describes as a practical education in tolerating uncertainty.
What I am and am not qualified to say
I am an engineer, not a clinician. My work on Condri's research pages is building the corpus, the verification pipeline and the data, not interpreting evidence clinically. Where a page makes a clinical judgement, it comes from published research and the psychologists, psychiatrists and doctors we work with.
Research work
Health anxiety research database
Every paper indexed on health anxiety, searchable, with the corpus query published so the set can be reproduced.
The evidence base for health anxiety
Findings shown with the verbatim sentence each was taken from, checked character-for-character against the source abstract.
Treatments for health anxiety, ranked by evidence
Six approaches with what supports each and what tempers it. Clinical interpretation reviewed separately.
