The work of the Digital Medicine & Digital Biology research theme takes the advances being made in areas including artificial intelligence, biosignal processing, bioinformatics, computational modelling, mobile and cloud-based computing, and deep learning, and uses them to drive improvements in how health and wellbeing are supported. A primary focus is the development of a connected health system that makes high quality health services more accessible, more equitable, and more responsive to the needs of patients, and which provides continuity of care, from the hospital environment back into the home and community.
