WISER HEALTHCARE

Wiser Healthcare is a research collaboration involving The University of Sydney, Bond University, Monash University, the University of Wollongong, and international colleagues. We investigate the cause and size of the problem and test new solutions, in the areas of cancer, cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular focus on overdiagnosis caused by imaging (like CT scans and MRI scans), testing biomarkers (for example, blood tests like the Prostate Specific Antigen test), and genetic tests... Wiser Healthcare is a group of collaborating researchers based in Australia. We were awarded two related grants from the National Health and Medical Council at approximately the same time: a Centre for Research Excellence award (running from June 2016 to May 2021) and a Program Grant (running from January 2017 to December 2021). We decided to join forces to maximise the productivity of both grants. More recently, we were awarded another Centre for Research Excellence..
