Summary
The goal of this project is to take a new concept for cardiovascular disease management through the proof-of-concept stage and deliver a novel model for cardiovascular disease management. When proven, the application of this new process for service delivery will provide a low-cost way of closing the gap between guideline recommendations and current management of vascular disease in Australian primary care settings.
Preterm birth is a major cause of neonatal death and cerebral palsy. This grant will provide proof-of-concept that a computer program can be developed to predict a pregnant woman�s risk of preterm birth. There is a large market (4M US and 8M Europe), there are no competing technologies. This is a unique collaboration between Biomedical Engineering and an Australian centre with an international reputation in preterm birth, assisted by a pathology company.
