Using real-time health data to enable personalised, adaptive and early community health care

Opportunity 

Community mental health services (CMHS) across South Australia (SA) face increasing demand and workforce pressures. Fragmented information systems compound issues, with clinicians often needing to navigate multiple systems to obtain information required for decision-making. Meanwhile, consumers have limited access to tools that support ongoing self-management between appointments.  

This project sought to address these challenges by integrating and leveraging health, medication, appointment and wellbeing data in a digital ecosystem to support new mental health service care models. 

Project Objectives  

In partnership with public mental health services across South Australia, this project explored how to transform mental health services using virtual and remote monitoring technologies to efficiently identify and target interventions to mental health patients through a continuum of care.
