Workshop held: Design and Delivery of Personalised Interventions for Chronic Disease

Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory illnesses, and mental health disorders represent a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals and placing immense strain on healthcare systems worldwide. Addressing these complex health issues requires innovative approaches that go beyond traditional one-size-fits-all interventions. Personalized interventions tailored to individual needs, preferences, and contexts have emerged as a promising strategy. By harnessing advancements in technology, data analytics, and patient-centered care, personalized interventions can optimize health outcomes, enhance patient engagement, and improve long-term adherence to treatment plans. Such interventions also have potential to contribute to more equitable and cost-effective health care delivery. 

With this workshop we also welcomed our new Foregin Adjunct Professor, Ralph Maddison (from 1st July 2024) who is an internationally recognised expert in digital health with special focus on design, development, and evaluation of digital health interventions for the prevention and management of chronic disease Ralph Maddison Profile | Deakin University.
