Funded Activity Summary

Getting real about risk: using medical records in the geospatial analysis of chronic disease risk in Australia. Crafting an informed response to the alarming rise of chronic disease is the most challenging public health issue in Australia. This project will design a method of producing fine-grained maps of future chronic disease risk directly from the medical records held in general practices. This will involve innovative new techniques in data handling, geocoding, analysis and interpolation to create risk surfaces across a metropolitan area and comparisons with built environment and socio-economic data, providing new insights into risk factors. It will be the first such geospatial analysis of real clinical data in Australia, which will pioneer geospatial risk analysis for planning preventative health measures, interventions and policy responses.
