Wearable devices are a promising alternative to invasive physiological measurements to provide important clinical information relevant to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, an ongoing challenge with wearables is how to consolidate complex physiological signals into sensitive, clinically meaningful risk performance metrics. Shariful’s research is to address this gap, by developing a novel, intelligent wearable system, ‘Wear-Heart’,…

National Health and Medical Research Council Investigator Grant (EL1) at Deakin University Eating disorders are potentially life-threatening conditions if left untreated. Unfortunately, nearly 80% of people with eating disorders do not have access to evidence-based treatment for reasons related to high cost, limited therapist availability, and privacy and stigma concerns. Dr. Linardon’s research involves capitalizing…

Clinical Associate Professor and Victorian Cancer Agency Nursing and Allied Health Clinical Research Fellow at Deakin University A staggering 1 in 3 people with cancer are malnourished. People with cancer-related malnutrition are more likely to die sooner, have poorer quality of life and are less likely to complete their cancer treatment. Yet, cancer-related malnutrition is…

Senior Lecturer, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Monash University Information technology (IT) devices consume about 8% of global electricity, and this percentage is set to double every 10 years. The many smart electronic devices that we use every day (e.g., smart phones, tablets, laptops) contribute substantially to climate change, and as our world becomes…
