About
e-Health is an inclusive term coined to embrace the more obvious challenges in health informatics and of the electronic health record, but also to include novel uses of mobile technologies such as the foetal heart monitor through to the wellness arena such as games for health.
The eHealth Research Group acts as a focal point bringing together researchers in the field both inside and outside of Edith Cowan University. Our goal is to create a formalised resource to support health and wellness through information and communications technology.
ECU is well placed to provide multi-disciplinary e-health research. Across the University there is expertise in the disciplines of law, psychology, biology, engineering, medicine and emergency management. The eHealth Research Group is able to draw on this expertise and has research interests in the domains of:
- general practice;
- online communities and wellness;
- mobile technologies;
- games for wellness;
- applications of artificial intelligence to the detection of cancer related genes; and
- digital and physical security.
