Domain Leader: Professor Lynne Daniels
IHBI researchers within this domain are studying the major problems relating to population ageing, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the need to provide efficient and effective interventions in a variety of health care settings. The researchers in the Human Health & Wellbeing Domain are focused on developing and evaluating interventions that will prevent disease, promote health and improve care. The burden of preventable physical and psychological disease is still unacceptably high despite the success of public health interventions over the past century. Throughout Asia and the Western Pacific an 'epidemic' of preventable chronic disease is evident. In some population sub-groups in Australia, the rates of chronic disease are among the highest anywhere in the world. Human Health & Wellbeing at IHBI is developing products and service management tools that will be adopted as industry standards in health care for people of all ages. It provides training and support for small businesses by acting as a health service 'broker' and personal health consultant to prepare evidence based healthcare management plans and services The Human Health & Wellbeing Domain also addresses the increasing demand for patient-centred services delivered outside of the traditional hospital environment by assisting people to better manage their own chronic health problems. Customisation of chronic disease management in this way, by collaborating with a variety of health practitioners in primary care, is the key to reducing the impact of chronic disease.
