Day 1: Digital Health Evidence Generation seminar
Immerse yourself in a series of comprehensive online seminars by key experts from the CDTH and Dr Paulina Bondaronek from University College London (UK). We will delve into the current state of digital health evidence generation across the world exploring best practices and pragmatic approaches across consumer equity & involvement, usability, data & interoperability, health economic assessment, implementation science overview, research & trial design, and real work evidence trials.
Day 2: Hands-on workshop
Embark on a journey practically and apply your new knowledge during a hands-on workshop. This exclusive session invites participants to roll up their sleeves and develop a tailored evidence generation plan under the guidance of our experts. In small groups, we'll develop innovative digital health evidence generation solutions tailored to your organisation's needs. Whether you represent a large healthcare institution or are a solo practitioner, this workshop equips you with the tools and insights to navigate the digital frontier effectively.

The Validitron is the University of Melbourne's digital health studio and research platform that helps clinical researchers plan and run effective projects to drive substantial improvements in clinical outcomes, patient experience, and care delivery. It collaborates with researchers who have innovative digital health ideas, ensuring their projects reach their potential through usability science, implementation methods, systems approach, and integration tools. Its environment provides virtual and immersive physical spaces for prototyping, testing, co-design, and demonstration.
Established in 2019, and led by Professor Wendy Chapman, the Centre for Digital Transformation of Health is a cross-disciplinary centre that connects the strengths in health and medical research in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, to the strengths in informatics, computing and data science in the School of Computing and Information Systems. With a vision of connected healthcare, the Centre aims to address a critical gap in the translation of digital health research, which is clearly needed if the healthcare system is to benefit from research-led advances in digital health. The Centre aims to significantly grow the field of digital health research at the University of Melbourne through creating the right environment for the type of inter-disciplinary, collaborative research that correlates with research excellence and real-world impact on the healthcare system to flourish. Through bringing together researchers, educators, healthcare and digital health professionals, patients and the public, the focus on translation of digital health innovations into clinical practice will enable a future where the healthcare system is transformed through digital health innovation.
