Project main description

The NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Digital Health is a national research centre which brings together the major Australian centres of health informatics research. Working with healthcare data, artificial intelligence (AI) tools and techniques and together with our partners, collaborators and front-line healthcare providers, the CRE in Digital Health addresses key issues to drive the development of a fully integrated and digitally enabled Australian healthcare system.

The CRE in Digital Health commenced in 2018 and builds on the work of the previous CRE in e-health directed by Professor Enrico Coiera (2011-2017). Investigators in the CRE come from Macquarie University, Bond University, the University of Melbourne, RMIT University, UNSW Sydney, University of South Australia, The University of Sydney and CSIRO.

The CRE is administered by the Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

The CRE has its own website digitalhealth.edu.au where you can find out more.
