Supervised Home Exercise for Peripheral Artery Disease (Old ID 27514)
Joseph Moxon
01 Jun 2023 - 31 May 2027
1 million Australians have leg artery blockage (peripheral artery disease; PAD) and are at very high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Up to one-third of patients having an acute cardiac event or stroke have PAD, which limits their recovery. Randomised controlled trials (RCT) have established supervised exercise therapy substantially improves the functional impairment caused by PAD and reduces the risk factors of acute cardiovascular events. International guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy sessions are performed at tertiary facilities three times weekly for three months. These programs have poor uptake and are not suited to equitable provision across Australia particularly for regional and remote communities who have the greatest burden from PAD. Our workshops with patients indicated the commonest challenges to taking part in supervised exercise was travelling. In partnership with patients, health professionals and other stakeholders we have co-designed the Supervised Home-based exercise progrAm for Peripheral artery diseasE (SHAPE). This 12-week supervised exercise program is delivered directly to and completely undertaken within the participant's home using telehealth supervision and monitoring from a wrist worn accelerometer

Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Old ID 28981)
Michelle Redman-MacLaren
27 Apr 2023 - 30 Apr 2024
Baru Conservation Alliance (BCA) and JCU successfully implemented the APCP funded “Traditional Knowledge about Climate and Food Security in Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands” in 2021/22. This current “Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people” project strengthens capacity built in 2021/22 to inform climate information products based on Kwaio traditional knowledge. The project will create communication products that utlise both western scientific and traditional Kwaio knowledge about the weather, how the weather is changing and what this means for people living on Malaita, Solomon Islands.
National Research Project on Remote Radiology Assessment Service Delivery (Old ID 23150)
Rebecca Evans
01 May 2017 - 30 Nov 2019
This project will investigate outcomes of the BreastScreen Australia remote radiology assessment trial at sites through9out Australia. Engaging a remote radiologist may assist with overcoming many challenges associated with providing health services in a regional, rural or remote location. This project seeks to ensure that the alternative model of service delivery is appropriate for consumers, evidence-based and safe. Specifically, this project will assess how the new remote radiology model affects: - Patient safety - Patient acceptability - Staff acceptability of new model of service provision - The safe, efficient organisation of BreastScreen services

Point-of-injury intranasal ALM drug therapy to reduce secondary injury and improve outcomes after TBI in civilian and military resource-limited environments (Old ID 27829)
Hayley Letson
01 Sep 2023 - 31 Aug 2026
Currently there is no effective drug therapy to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) in combat and other military and civilian settings immediately after the injury has occurred that can protect the brain and the whole body by reducing secondary injury progression and TBI-associated complications. ALM therapy is a neuroprotective fluid therapy that significantly improves survival, rescues cardiac function, reduces local bleeding, and blunts secondary injury processes including inflammation after trauma. This project will evaluate the efficacy and protective benefits of ALM therapy administered intravenously (injectable) and intranasally (via spray) in a rat model of TBI.

International travel and medical events- an Australian travel insurance perspective in the Covid-19 era.
Lars Henning
01 Apr 2024 - 31 Dec 2027
This PhD project will measure the impact of international travel on the medical wellbeing of Australians. No such data currently exists. By investigating the relationship between traveller features and communicable and non-communicable diseases, an indication of the true medical risks associated with such travel will be established. The measurements will reflect long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical literacy, travel preferences, and public attitudes. The results will inform future product design for insurers and assist travel medical providers to advise clients on their risk for medical incidents during travel. The findings will assist in setting the healthcare expectations for contemporary Australian international travellers.
