Our Research Divisions Applied Technologies for Clinical Care The Division focuses on technological innovations and use of new evidence-based technologies in clinical care. The team explores current technological applications and de-implementation of outdated technologies and technology-related patient or supporter reported outcome measures. Methodological expertise includes n-of-1 studies, randomised controlled trials, co-design, and implementation science (process evaluation, big data, outcome measurement).
