Educate – Collaborate – Explore
The Centre was originally conceived as a way to develop a major data and health informatics agenda at the University of Melbourne. It connects research strengths in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences (MDHS) and the School of Computing and Information Systems (CIS).
The Centre’s approach is to collaborate: to value-add to the digital health sector through collective, multi-disciplinary work to achieve goals that cannot be achieved by individuals or organisations working alone. Our focus on translating research and facilitating uptake of digital health innovations will contribute to the digital transformation of healthcare.
Our three strategic pillars are focussed on better use of health data, integrating digital health innovations into the healthcare system and upskilling the healthcare workforce.
