DHIN Newsletter | Issue 37, October 2021
Dear Test,
Hello to all members of the DHIN and welcome to all the new members who have recently joined us. While we are starting to return to campus here at the University of Sydney we are taking a cautious approach to upcoming DHIN events and will continue to hold upcoming events as virtual events for now.
Registrations are now open for The Digital Health ECR Showcase on Wednesday 24th November 2021. The ECR Showcase is a great opportunity to hear about the excellent work that our early career researchers are doing. Check below for more information .
DHIN members are organising Digital Health Week 2022 (DHW22), which is currently a partnership between the University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne. Please mark your calendars for DHW22 from the 14th to 17th of February 2022. The theme for the conference is 'Reality check: How do we make technology work in real life?'
The abstract submission deadline for DHW22 has now passed; I heard that there was a great response and the abstracts are now going through blinded review. Registrations for DHW22 will open soon, so keep an eye out for updates or check back with us again soon to register for what is always one of the best digital health events in Australia in the year.
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.
Best wishes,
Adam
Associate Professor Adam Dunn
Director of Biomedical Informatics and Digital Health
