Help stop the next pandemic

When COVID-19 hit, policymakers leaned heavily on health experts – like Professor Raina MacIntyre and the UNSW Biosecurity team. They’ve developed EPIWATCH, an AI-driven epidemic observatory, and COVID-19 transmission models to answer urgent policy questions – like the partial or complete lifting of Australia’s travel ban on China, regional disease control, school closures, social distancing and mask usage.

Help improve older people's wellbeing

Developed thanks in part to the research of Ebony Lewis, the award-winning CriSTAL tool identifies older terminal patients on admission to healthcare. The tool estimates their risk of death in the short-term then facilitates discussion on their individual care preferences. It’s helped thousands of patients live out their final days in a manner they choose.
