Data collected and linked from a range of care settings – including hospitals, general practice and outpatient services – is giving health practitioners a clearer picture of population health, and the evidence base they need to provide effective and tailored treatment options.
Here at the University, the Curtin Health Research and Data Analytics Hub has been established to extend our ability to use very large sets of health data and to train the future health workforce in using data.
Our strengths
Clinical trials and data infrastructure
Researchers in our Centre for Data Linkage are providing data linkage services capable of linking and managing health and non-health data in a secure ISO27001 certified environment. They’ve developed software that preserves strong privacy protections, and tools to maximise high standards and consistency in results. Their work is key to developing new technologies and will improve health outcomes at individual, community and population levels.
