Radio Frequency Wireless Monitoring in Sleep Apnoea (Particularly for Paediatric Patients). Disease diagnosis, chronic disease monitoring and stress monitoring all are limited by diagnostic systems that are attached to patients by wires restricting the recording of such parameters to limited intervals in the clinician's office. The proposed system will enable patients to have a range of physiological parameters recorded without the attachment of wires. This will enable extensive periods of dia ....Radio Frequency Wireless Monitoring in Sleep Apnoea (Particularly for Paediatric Patients). Disease diagnosis, chronic disease monitoring and stress monitoring all are limited by diagnostic systems that are attached to patients by wires restricting the recording of such parameters to limited intervals in the clinician's office. The proposed system will enable patients to have a range of physiological parameters recorded without the attachment of wires. This will enable extensive periods of diagnostic data to be recorded to characterize respiratory, cardiac and other parameters during extended periods, and during normal daily activity. In addition the system can be used to monitor patients with chronic disease and detect trends in their disease.Read moreRead less
Multi-modal, Multi-dimensional Virtual Microscopy for Diagnostic Quantitative Pathology. This project will contribute to the development of a new generation of virtual microscopy (VM) systems that provide new and innovative features capable of significantly increasing the adoption of digital imaging technology throughout the field of pathology. These systems have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and efficacy of not only primary diagnostic workflows, but also aspects of profi ....Multi-modal, Multi-dimensional Virtual Microscopy for Diagnostic Quantitative Pathology. This project will contribute to the development of a new generation of virtual microscopy (VM) systems that provide new and innovative features capable of significantly increasing the adoption of digital imaging technology throughout the field of pathology. These systems have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and efficacy of not only primary diagnostic workflows, but also aspects of proficiency testing and continuing education vital for a vibrant, well regulated discipline. In addition, the project will contribute to our knowledge of the pathology assessed in the screening and diagnosis of cancers such as cervical, lung and bladder cancers.Read moreRead less
Estimating The Risk of Preterm Birth Using Blood Tests. This research falls under National Research Priority 'A Healthy Start to Life'. The overall aim of this project is to develop risk estimates for preterm birth that may be used in clinical practice for the management of pregnancy. The project is concerned with developing computational methods, software, and a clinical interface that may be used by obstetricians. As well as identifying women at high risk of preterm birth, this approach will a ....Estimating The Risk of Preterm Birth Using Blood Tests. This research falls under National Research Priority 'A Healthy Start to Life'. The overall aim of this project is to develop risk estimates for preterm birth that may be used in clinical practice for the management of pregnancy. The project is concerned with developing computational methods, software, and a clinical interface that may be used by obstetricians. As well as identifying women at high risk of preterm birth, this approach will also help identify women at very low risk of preterm birth, and so those women more suited to management by midwives, either in a hospital or home birth setting.Read moreRead less
New open MRI Technology for Kinematic Orthopaedic Imaging. This application intends to significantly enhance Open MRI as applied to dynamic joint imaging by technological and methodological innovation. Expected outcomes include better technology for the imaging of joints under loaded movement and consequently, improved understanding of joint function and disease. This technology will provide unique ability in Australia and brings together highly skilled groups in Biomedical Engineering, medical ....New open MRI Technology for Kinematic Orthopaedic Imaging.
