Australia needs a new prescription for healthcare – a focus on prevention and wellness, enabled by technology. To help meet this challenge, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) has drawn on expertise from across the nation to prepare this map for step-change.

With Australia’s long distances between large urban centres, the transport sector will be one area that is both significantly disrupted and revolutionised by technological transformation. This report identifies sustainability and climate change, productivity and health as the three key challenges that will need to be addressed within the transport sector over the next decade.

This strategy offers a vision and opportunity to guide stakeholders, as they go about identifying and agreeing upon the specific actions required to build the strongest STEM workforce possible to support Australia’s prosperity.

The Department of Industry, Innovation and Science is undertaking a review of innovation metrics. The aim of the review is to develop a suite of metrics that more fully capture innovation and thereby support better decision-making in Australia.

In this episode of the Applied Podcast, Professor Hugh Bradlow FTSE, President of Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering explains how machine learning can navigate big data, deriving patterns from data with no obvious mathematical causal relationship, and so redefining healthcare.
