Supporting children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families in health services

Summary

This project uses the Australian and Sydney Child Neurodevelopment Registry, a registry embedded mainly public health services to study support needs of children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families. The registry is used to advocate for the needs of different groups and to test solutions for providing higher quality evidence based care to children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families. Solutions may include clinical advances, technology, or the testing of different models, methods or interventions.

Synopsis

The Australian and Sydney Child Neurodevelopment Registry is an embedded data registry in clinical services, largely public health clinical services, to underpin clinical practice of clinical teams with collected data about the needs of children with neurodevelopmental conditions and their families. Projects can develop novel questions within the dataset about understanding the needs of children and families in services, or they can propose testing changes of practice or improvements with technology for better outcomes. The description of this project is broad because projects could be undertaken from a broad range of multidisciplinary students (psychiatry, medicine, pharmacy, psychology, engineering, allied health) and focus on different aspects of the data (e.g., cultural groups, different diagnosed conditions), testing experimental tasks (e.g., eye tracking, executive function, clinical practices), testing new technology (automated report practices, artificial intelligence, experience sampling methods), or public health approaches (economic evaluation and policy advocacy). 

Additional information

There are a range of publications already available on the sydney and Australian child neurodevelopment registry that can be searched in major databases (eg., pubmed) from my team. Our publications on report writing, the use of artificial intelligence and transdiagnostic models of neurodevelopment may also be relevant.
