Summary
We have invented a highly sensitive, new method to count and evaluate chromosomes inside cancer cells. With this world-first method we can detect abnormal chromosomes when fewer than 1 cell in 1,000 is affected. We will refine the method for assessment of blood cancers and chromosome disorders such as trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome), and commence pre-clinical testing. This is a critical step towards translating this methodology into a validated test to significantly benefit human health.
Harnessing Information Technology To Improve Self-management Behaviours And Health Outcome In People With Heart Failure: A Smarthome Ecosystem Living Lab Study

Summary
The burden of heart failure in Australia is substantial. Management of heart failure is complex and requires self-management of symptoms and behaviour change, which requires ongoing education and support to achieve. Current approaches for supporting self-management do not meet the needs of people with heart failure or the healthcare system. This Australian first project aims to co-design an intelligent smart home ecosystem (Smart Heart) to support the management for people with heart failure.
