May Meeting - A Double Feature Abstract Healthcare organisations have a number of medical IT systems (such as physiological monitoring systems) that demand highly skilled biomedical engineers/technicians to support. The training simulator provides an environment for biomedical engineers/technicians (BMEs/BMETs) to develop skills on these complex medical IT systems in a controlled and measureable environment. Similar to clinical simulation environments, this training simulator can be used to train BMEs/BMETs on realistic scenarios for medical IT systems, such a system failures, hardware faults, along with cybersecurity incident response and recovery.

June Meeting Expectant mothers are often overwhelmed by the abundance of information made available to them. Eve has been designed to serve as a single source of truth by providing evidence based content to expectant mothers in a form which is easy to navigate, always available and tailored to the mother’s pregnancy. The tablet based application provides users with access to a variety of tools to monitor the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby, and transmits this data back to the hospital midwives in real time via the Midwife Portal. Eve has recently been piloted at Cabrini Hospital with a high level of success. This project was submitted to the Australian Biomedical Engineering Innovation Awards, winning 2nd prize. The ABEIA link is:http://www.abeia.com.au/#/page Discussion - Transforming Healthcare With Blockchain Technology The Technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin has the potential to transform many aspects of healthcare including the way we capture, store and report on patient data, manage the hospital supply chain and operate clinical trials. Smart contracts in healthcare will enable further automation and will play a role in reducing administration expenditure. We’ll cover off the fundamentals of blockchain technology and explore some of the innovative use cases in health. Biography

July Meeting Applying her skills as an engineer Sarah has worked to improve the health of communities through better water supply, sanitation and hygiene through interventions ranging from building simple pit latrines in remote locations through to working on a larger scale with municipal service providers installing mechanical pumps and repair of sewerage networks. Sarah has used her engineering training not only in the applied sense of finding technical solutions but more importantly understanding how to work with people within different cultures and contexts to ensure interventions are appropriate and sustainable. Sarah will talk about her experiences and in particular the way her engineering training and experience prepared her for her roles in international aid organisations which has at times extended way beyond her initial ideas of what engineers can contribute. |
