Biography
Associate Professor Michelle Krahe is a Principal Research Fellow in Digital Health Implementation at James Cook University and Program Manager of the Northern Australian Regional Digital Health Collaborative (NARDHC). She also co-leads the workforce innovation research program of the Care Economy CRC.
As a health systems researcher specialising in digital health, implementation science, and data visualisation, Michelle is committed to translating complex information into actionable insights that strengthen systems of care. Her current research investigates what drives successful digital health innovation and how these insights can be transformed into strategies that create meaningful, lasting impact — particularly in rural and remote communities.
With experience across higher education, healthcare, and research, she has led complex multidisciplinary projects and navigated the full lifecycle of large-scale grants. Her expertise in visual storytelling with data enables her to bring evidence to life in ways that enhance understanding, foster collaboration, and inform policy and practice.
Michelle has led complex, multidisciplinary projects that emphasise outcomes-based, translational applications, with a particular focus on working with vulnerable or disadvantaged communities through co-designed clinical and community initiatives. Her work is grounded in principles of ethics, equity, and open science, with research interests spanning digital health, behaviour change, service equity, systems strengthening, programme evaluation, and knowledge translation.
