Research & development to support the growth of a strong digital health industry.
Opportunity: Digital health innovations have the potential to promote better value care and help address health system challenges. Adoption of digital health innovations can be challenging in complex health systems due to many factors, including implementation-related difficulties.
Opportunity: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being widely developed by a range of stakeholders for Australia’s healthcare sector. AI-enabled health services hold the promise of new modes of delivery and models of healthcare that are more personalised, effective and safe for patients and will advance the sustainability of Australia’s healthcare system.
Opportunity: Smartphone usage within cardiac rehabilitation is high, with approximately 70% of patients reporting they have a smartphone. We have found that almost half (n=43/94) of these patients use wearable activity trackers (wearables) and/or fitness smartphone applications (apps) at the beginning of their cardiac rehabilitation program (unpublished).
