Funded Activity Summary

The CONNECT study will test a new consumer-focussed e-health strategy that provides people with access to personal health information and interactive resources to improve their cardiovascular health. It is linked with the patient's primary health care record. The study will involve 2000 adults over 24 months. If the system is found to be effective, it could provide all Australians with access to better health information, assist them to make more informed health choices and ultimately reduce death and disability related to chronic diseases.
