Can e-Health improve access to effective and affordable care for musculoskeletal conditions? [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Many Australians with musculoskeletal pain cannot access effective, affordable care (eg. advice & exercise) due to long waiting times for physiotherapy in public hospitals & lack of access in rural areas. The consequence is worse symptoms that are difficult to treat & require costly, ongoing care. This project will evaluate two eHealth-based models of care to reduce waiting times & improve access to effective care. The results could benefit millions of people worldwide with musculoskeletal pain.
