Funded Activity Summary

Quantitative measurement of Schizophrenia using Electrovestibulography. Schizophrenia was estimated to cost approximately $1.85billion in 2001 (0.3% of GDP and nearly $50k for each of the 37,000 Australians with the illness). Over one third of the cost is borne by sufferers and their carers. Misdiagnosis and incorrect therapy are common. To date quantitative assessment of Schizophrenics has been impossible making this tool potentially invaluable. An accurate diagnostic test could facilitate earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment plans, and prevention of debilitating psychotic episodes for the sufferer. By being able to monitor drug efficacy the community can benefit by reduced drug costs, confinement times and hastened new drug development.
