The Future of Digital Health
RACGP | ADHA
1:00pm
The use of digital health technologies has rapidly increased over the past two years of the pandemic. General practice responded promptly to implement technologies so they could continue to care for their patents remotely and practices and patients have become more familiar with using digital health tools to complement their care.
What can we expect for the future of digital health? In this session, delivered in partnership with the Australian Digital Health Agency, we will discuss the RACGP’s vision for a digital health future, targeted, proactive and preventative care personalised to the patient, artificial intelligence and clinical decision support technologies. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

STRIDE Research Capacity Strengthening Webinar
10am - 11:30am
When the pandemic hit, health promotion practitioners went to work! Last year we interviewed Health Promotion Professionals from Australia and the US to learn about how they were responding to the COVID pandemic.
Now, please join De Paul University (USA) Master of Health students as they present initial findings and host a conversation about:
What health equity issues are health promotion practitioners concerned about as a result of COVID?
What do Health Promotion professionals have to say about the shift in health priorities due to the pandemic response?
This research is a collaboration that evolved from the Health Promotion arm of CRE-STRIDE, with DePaul University (Kathleen Conte) and the University of Technology, Sydney (Nikki Percival).
CRE-STRIDE Research Capacity Strengthening Webinars are free of cost and open to all.
For more information, please contact STRIDE Program Manager, Kerryn Harkin.
