Summary
A cross-disciplinary collaboration to develop a national system for real-time detection of Adverse Drug Reactions using linked Australian health data. Our aim is to use existing administrative health data in the evidence-based, cost-effective and privacy-respecting discovery of Adverse Drug Reactions. This research is of vital importance, since adverse reactions to medicines currently represent one of the leading causes of hospitalisation and death in Australia. In a groundbreaking collaboration ....A cross-disciplinary collaboration to develop a national system for real-time detection of Adverse Drug Reactions using linked Australian health data. Our aim is to use existing administrative health data in the evidence-based, cost-effective and privacy-respecting discovery of Adverse Drug Reactions. This research is of vital importance, since adverse reactions to medicines currently represent one of the leading causes of hospitalisation and death in Australia. In a groundbreaking collaboration, we have successfully shown that large linked, administrative data sets are sufficiently rich to enable discovery of adverse drug reactions, but our analytic tools are at an early developmental stage. The outcome of this project would be innovative, effective and sustainable analytic tools for the discovery of unexpected associations between drugs and medical events.Read moreRead less
Information systems theory for location-based educational services in informal learning environments. Creating technology enhanced learning experiences will be critical to the way we educate and engage with future generations. This project will seek to develop a stronger theoretical basis for understanding how location-based technologies can enhance learning outcomes of school students visiting three of Australia's leading cultural institutions.
A novel cooperative global information system for healthcare. This project will develop a global model for healthcare based on the groundbreaking Protocol Hypothesis Testing (PHT) system, allowing expert groups of clinicians to create and share knowledge across organizations. The PHT is a unique functioning knowledge management system that allows clinicians to record patient and treatment data as it is generated in clinical practice and applies scientific methods to generate clinical knowledge, ....A novel cooperative global information system for healthcare. This project will develop a global model for healthcare based on the groundbreaking Protocol Hypothesis Testing (PHT) system, allowing expert groups of clinicians to create and share knowledge across organizations. The PHT is a unique functioning knowledge management system that allows clinicians to record patient and treatment data as it is generated in clinical practice and applies scientific methods to generate clinical knowledge, all in real-time. The project will develop and test a framework for the PHT system to be used cooperatively by expert groups across virtual organizations, refining the PHT system in the process.Read moreRead less

The Internet of Things (IoT) together with the rising popularity of smartphones opens a new world for many exciting opportunities. The overall goal of this project is to develop new algorithms and data analytical techniques in an IoT environment that can accurately monitor and analyse personalised daily activities on a continuous, real-time basis. The expected result of this project will support many critical applications such as better wellness tracking and lifestyle-related illness prevention, which will be particularly critical to Australia's aging population. This project will also serve as a vehicle to educate and train Australia’s young scholars and engineers.Read moreRead less
Robust Preference Inference from Spatial-Temporal Interaction Networks. This project aims to develop innovative techniques for effectively and efficiently managing user preference profiles from less labelled, sparse and noisy interaction data. A unified novel learning framework along with a set of data analysis techniques are expected to be developed from this project, which will provide a non-intrusive way of conducting predictive analysis on user preference profiling via discovering human expl ....Robust Preference Inference from Spatial-Temporal Interaction Networks. This project aims to develop innovative techniques for effectively and efficiently managing user preference profiles from less labelled, sparse and noisy interaction data. A unified novel learning framework along with a set of data analysis techniques are expected to be developed from this project, which will provide a non-intrusive way of conducting predictive analysis on user preference profiling via discovering human explicit and implicit interest domains. The expected results of this application will not only maintain Australia's leadership in this frontier research area, but also support many important applications that safeguard Australian people and economy such as cyber security, healthcare, and e-Commerce.Read moreRead less
