DHIN Newsletter | Issue 43, July 2022
Dear ,
Hello to all the new and existing members of the DHIN. I hope many of you have had the opportunity to take some well-deserved time off over the mid-year break! We look forward to seeing you at our DHIN-related events through the second half of the year.
Our DHIN ECR Community will be hosting a meet-up for our higher degree research students and early career researchers. I strongly encourage all who are available to attend, the opportunity to meet people in-person and form connections has never been more valuable. It was great to see a good turn out at the previous meet-up earlier in the year, so lets keep the great conversation going!
I'll again remind you to save the date for the FMH Networks EMCR Symposium happening from the 7-9th December at the University of Sydney, Camperdown Campus. All members of the DHIN are welcome to attend and participate, so keep an eye out for the opportunities to come.
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. A new and improved DHIN website will soon be on its way, and the updates you make now 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

Study Recruitment
- Do you engage in online communities with other health professionals?
Researchers at The University of Sydney are interested in understanding the way health professionals use online communities to engage with other health professionals. If you participate in online communities (including professional networking and social media platforms) we’d be interested to hear your experiences by completing a short survey (approx. 15 mins) and the option to participate in an interview. Learn more here.
- Would you like to help validate a new digital body measurement method?
If you are female and 18 or above, please complete the FEM-Measure questionnaire.
Your participation will potentially make the process of monitoring body changes over time more convenient and consistent. We estimate that the questionnaire will take approximately 20-40 minutes to complete.
