Advances in technology together with its increasing use and declining costs have provided valuable opportunities for greater application of digital applications in healthcare. However, only a small percentage of digital apps have undergone clinical validation, and healthcare organisations are not traditionally equipped to innovate, evaluate and implement digital technology solutions. The Digital Health group on Melbourne Children\u2019s Campus draws on expertise at MCRI, RCH and the University of Melbourne and works with industry partner Curve Tomorrow. This model of experienced software engineers embedded within a research institute, and co-located with a tertiary hospital and university is designed to facilitate a collaborative relationship between the technology and healthcare sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Vicki Anderson<\/strong> is Head of Psychology at the Royal Children\u2019s Hospital and Theme Director, Clinical Sciences Research, Murdoch Children\u2019s Research Institute.
