Digital Health CRC

🚨 NEW PROJECT ALERT 🚨 💥 We're creating a first-of-its-kind online tool to help classify different types of AI solutions used in healthcare. ⚡ To do this, we're partnering with the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, the University of Technology Sydney and UTS Rapido! “The challenge is building clear and consistent guidance and tools, ensuring these are effective for the diverse range of audiences and AI solutions across healthcare including developers, healthcare providers and consumers.” - Annette Schmiede #DigitalHealth #OECD #Healthcare #Framework

✨ Today, DHCRC CEO Annette Schmiede spoke at Cooperative Research Australia's National Innovation Policy forum about supporting the Australian digital health technology sector. 💥 Annette shared examples of case studies from health technology industry partners Alcidion and Harrison.ai and the challenges of scaling up in Australia and the important need to seek contracts overseas. #DigitalHealth #InnovationPolicy #CRA #Research

🎉 Digital Health CRC would like to extend their congratulations to Ms Rosemary Huxtable AO PSM, who has been appointed to lead the development of the National Health and Medical Research Strategy.   ✨ A national strategy will provide a critical roadmap to facilitate strategic coordination of innovation and research priorities to meet Australia’s health needs and shape the delivery of healthcare for future generations.   ⚡ We look forward to consulting on the strategy to help inform the must-have priorities that investment in digital health requires to capitalise on this once-in-a-generation opportunity. #DigitalHealth #NationalHealth #MedicalResearch

💥 We had a fantastic time at the University of Sydney's Practice Analytics summit last week! ⚡ The morning started with an engaging keynote from A/Professor Martin Pusic from Harvard Medical School as he provided an educational lens to practice analytics, discussing the role of big data from clinical practice and the concept of ‘precision education’ to tailor learning for individuals and build learning health systems towards meaningful educational and clinical outcomes. 🌱 We also heard compelling insights and research updates from some PhD and postdoc emerging leaders, as they showcased innovative solutions for improving clinical practice through data analysis and AI. Highlights included exploring precision education, using AI for clinical note analysis and error checking, and developing ethical frameworks for data utilisation. 🧠 The afternoon's session was a keynote from Dr Simon Kos from Microsoft ANZ, who demonstrated gen AI tools and kickstarted our thinking and discussion on Intersection of AI and Practice Analytics. ✨ The summit closed with a lively panel discussion that covered a wide range of topics from workforce and capacity building to environmental impacts and the growth potential of AI in healthcare. #PracticeAnalytics #DigitalHealth #AI #HealthcareInnovation #UniversityofSydney Harvey Jia Wei Koh Bernard Bucalon Lixiang (Jimmie) Yan Nina Roxburgh Kavisha Shah Anna Janssen Tim Shaw Annette Schmiede Emma Nicholls

💥 At Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH)’s “Fake Patients for Real Outcomes” event, Dr. Ben Hachey from Beamtree set the scene with an introductory presentation on synthetic data, leading into an engaging panel discussion and Q&A. ✨ Ben highlighted synthetic data’s critical role in supporting project-based learning in healthcare research, allowing researchers to test, iterate, and innovate on real-world challenges within a privacy-safe environment. This approach accelerates healthcare improvements, enabling researchers to “practice” on “fake” patients, leading to insights that directly inform real patient care.   🗨 Ben was then joined by panellists Patty Correll and Keren Pointon in a lively discussion and audience Q&A hosted by Peter Birch from Talking HealthTech. The panel explored real-world applications and tackled essential questions around the opportunities, limitations, and ethical considerations of synthetic data in Australian healthcare.   Key takeaways: 🗝 Synthetic data complements real data by supporting early-stage research, bias detection, and algorithm training. 🗝It provides a faster, more inclusive pathway to health innovation. 🗝Public trust is essential. Education, clear communication, and robust governance are crucial for unlocking the potential of synthetic data, ensuring that life-saving insights are accessible to all.
