About this event

Our Labs:

Geospatial Health Lab - The Australian Geospatial Health Lab (AGeoH-L) is a unique partnership between the University of Canberra and GIS global industry leader Esri for advanced spatial health research.

The Australian Geospatial Health Lab (AGeoH-L) unravels how relationships between environmental context and population composition together shape health. The focus is the active appraisal over time of dynamic, inferential relationships between people and places to inform improved public health and medical systems.

VIDEA Lab - As Australia’s first lab to combine expertise from two related areas of knowledge: visual analytics and decision analytics, the VIDEA lab provides new opportunities to better plan mental and public health.

The VIDEA Lab is central to the national and international visual and decision analytics hub within University of Canberra. This hub brings together national and international decision-scientists and visual analytics experts from many disciplines to research specific areas of policy and society.

It uses new and advanced technologies and methods (e.g., machine learning, artificial intelligence and network analysis) and data science to visually analyse patterns of mental healthcare across the community to provide a better knowledge base and optimise communication with policy makers and stakeholders in the public health sector. We use our uniquely combined capacity in machine learning, data visualisation, modelling and advanced data analytics, to analyse and visualise complex healthcare data sets.
