About the CRE in Digital Health
The NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Digital Health is a national research centre which brings together the major Australian centres of health informatics research. Working with healthcare data, artificial intelligence (AI) tools and techniques and together with our partners, collaborators and front-line healthcare providers, the CRE in Digital Health addresses key issues to drive the development of a fully integrated and digitally enabled Australian healthcare system. With the support of the Australian Digital Health Agency and the Australasian Institute of Digital Health, we are tackling the challenges that impede the creation of safe, efficient and effective digital health services for clinicians and consumers.
The CRE in Digital Health commenced in 2018 and builds on the work of the previous CRE in e-health directed by Professor Enrico Coiera (2011-2017). Investigators in the CRE come from Macquarie University, Bond University, the University of Melbourne, RMIT University, UNSW Sydney, University of South Australia, The University of Sydney and CSIRO.
The CRE is administered by the Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
Major aims
