Swinburne University of Technology has launched MedTechVic, a new 
initiative focusing on the co-creation, development and delivery of 
enabling technologies for people who live with disability. We are 
bringing together Swinburne’s deep capabilities in co-design, user 
experience, technology, engineering and innovation to chart a new route 
for the creation of products and services that meet the needs of people 
and enable them to live their lives and achieve their goals. A 
scholarship is available within the School of Health Sciences for a 
student to undertake a PhD as part of this Australian-first partnership 
between industry, end users, clinicians and multidisciplinary researchers.
Resources are often wasted when health-oriented interventions/solutions 
are not fit for purpose and do not maximise benefits to users. This can 
be due to a lack of meaningful engagement of people with lived 
experience of health information and services – or user engagement tends 
to be ad hoc or short term, limiting success and sustainability.
This project will ensure effective, inclusive and authentic engagement 
of a range of stakeholders, such as patients, carers, prescribers, 
manufacturers and funding bodies. Long term engagement along the life 
cycle of idea generation to user consumption to commercialisation will 
be a focus. Considering the barriers and facilitators to peoples’ 
engagement with health information, health care, and health management 
activities will be a critical aspect of this person-centred project.
The aim will be to co-develop a digital, user-centric framework that
·       assesses needs,
·       makes, and implements fit-for-purpose interventions,
·       and is sustainable through its applicability and benefit to any 
user scenario.
Throughout this project cross-cutting approaches, including innovative 
methodological and theoretical approaches and knowledge translation, 
will be used. The student will work closely with interdisciplinary 
collaborators to share knowledge and experience.

The successful applicant will have a Masters degree in a related area or 
a combination of study and work experience. Research experience in the 
workplace will be viewed favourably.
