We now have 19 PhD students working alongside 8 lead investigators for THRIVE, with 2 members of staff providing admin support.

Our partnerships now include:

  • A major Digital Health Initiative with Monash University, the Industrial Training Transformation Centre for Optimal Ageing

  • A partnership with Charles Stuart University and the National Ageing Research Institute to improve mental health and well-being of older adults transitioning to aged care.

We have a vibrant set of collaborations in place with colleagues in Australia (Melbourne, Monash), the UK (Cambridge, Manchester, Southampton), China (Peking) and the United States (Texas A&M).

In 2023, we contributed to innovations in:

  • Genomics in chronic diseases including mental health

  • Generating a model for integration of genomic, behaviour change and digital platform delivery for chronic disease (INTEGRATE)

  • Clinical guideline development

  • Demonstration of the global economic benefits of the INTEGRATE model.

THRIVE is part of the Health Innovation and Transformation Center (HITC) at Federation University, which aims to answer complex global problems across the lifespan.

2024 is expected to bring new partners, staff and students, more innovations for chronic disease, and more funding and publications.
