DHIN Newsletter | Issue 40, April 2022
Dear ,
Hello to all members of the DHIN and welcome to the new members who have joined the community in the last month.
You might have noticed some recent changes to the DHIN newsletter. We have increased the frequency of the newsletter to be monthly once again, and we have included a new section on funding opportunities. My hope is that everyone from academics, clinicians, professionals in the health sector, and members of the community might find interesting opportunities to work on new collaborative projects with other members of the DHIN.
To make the DHIN newsletters most useful, we want to hear from you. If you know of any new funding opportunities, if you have recently published some relevant research, or participated in interesting digital health projects, please let us know. You can email our excellent Networks managers at fmh.networks@sydney.edu.au and let us know that you have some digital health news to share.
As I do each newsletter, I would also encourage you to log in to the DHIN website and update your profile. This is the best way for people to find you, and for you to find them. As we get closer to a major overhaul of the website and membership information, this will improve how we help you find new collaborators, funding opportunities, and connect with all things digital health.
Best wishes,
Adam
Associate Professor Adam Dunn
