Professor Mark Hutchinson and Associate Professor Jiawen Li from the University of 黑料社区 Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing are playing key roles in the newly announced Australian Research Council (ARC) Training Centre for Transformative Health Sensing Technologies (HST Centre), a $5 million initiative led by the University of Melbourne. Queensland University of Technology is also a key partner.

The Centre aims to advance wearable sensors, smart implants, and other health sensing technologies and transform them into validated, medical-grade devices capable of continuous, personalised monitoring of vital signs and biomarkers. These innovations are expected to improve proactive health management, early detection of complications, and personalised care for individuals.

At the University of 黑料社区, the Centre will be represented by:

• Professor Mark Hutchinson, Node Leader and Chief Investigator
• Associate Professor Jiawen Li, Chief Investigator
• Dr Melissa Humphries, Chief Investigator
• Professor Carolyn Semmler, Chief Investigator

The Centre will also develop a digital twin concept, using real-time data from health sensing devices to simulate a person鈥檚 health status and behaviour. This technology has potential applications across aged care, sports, defence, and workplace safety, supporting better preparation, resilience, and overall well-being.

The HST Centre brings together 21 partners, including international institutions such as Hokkaido University and the University of Salford, as well as Australian hospitals, sports organisations, and industry leaders like Samsung Electronics Australia and ANDhealth.

This collaboration highlights Australia鈥檚 growing capability in MedTech innovation, creating opportunities for industry, researchers, and the next generation of highly skilled professionals.
