The Commonwealth Government recently announced support for nine Australian researchers with almost $62 million to improve the health and wellbeing of Australians by accelerating research knowledge and outcomes into health care and practice.
We are excited that Western Health’s own Professor Bodil Rasmussen is a Chief Investigator in one of these Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) funded projects which received $9,067,407.
The research project is titled DELIVER: Delivering Enhanced heaLthcare at home through optImising Virtual tools for oldEr people in Rural and regional Australia, and is being led by Professor Anna Peeters from the Institute of Health Transformation, Deakin University and Western Alliance.
Bodil’s role in this research is in health service integration and evaluation of virtual healthcare tools and digital health literacy.
Congratulations to the team.
