      <p>Dr. Leif Hanlen is the lead for NICTA’s e-health business team. His role focuses on
the application of internet scale machine learning, natural language processing and
streaming data analysis to sports performance monitoring, clinical records, and
“smart” homes. Dr. Hanlen holds 3 patents in the field of wireless design for
bodyarea-networks, and over 70 peer reviewed publications. He is a member of Australian
Standards for Telehealth, the Australian Information Industry Association
eGovernment and eHealth taskforces.
The reality of the burden of disease is that we must be more effective in our care
delivery and meet higher and wider expectations. Digital technology is allowing greater
access to care, better clinical outcomes and broader workforce engagement all at less
total cost. The true benefits of digital technology can only be realized when “digital”
becomes invisible. NICTA is transforming innovative technologies to advance the
understanding of human diseases and to improve the health and wellbeing of
Australians. Our eHealth team is developing open-access information systems and analysis
engines to support national scale digital health programs. We are developing
middleware for health data and analysis that allows best use of health information. This talk
demonstrates how the new digital health care paradigm is developing in Australia and
how a new approach to building a National eHealth Living Lab is supporting new
approaches to care delivery.</p>
