1. Community

(cancer patients, their families, cancer support groups and students (basic-level knowledge exchange)

Despite the volume of medical information available, the Foundation considers that there’s inadequate healthcare technical information of sufficient scientific depth for newly diagnosed patients having to make informed decisions on which technology to choose.

The Better Healthcare Technology website provides easy access to patient-friendly information that describes the technical and scientific aspects of the cancer treatment.

This provides patients and their family valuable support when making a more informed decision about their medical treatment options and, hopefully, reduced anxiety when deciding the choice of technology treatment.

For basic patient articles, see, for example:

Community Information

Cancer Care Technologies

or

Diagnostic Image Technology

or

Technology in Surgery and Therapy

Summary:
This basic (Level 1.) knowledge exchange complements other published medical advice and is at a level suitable for cancer patients, their families, cancer support groups, early university students and high-school students wanting basic information on modern health technology.

2. Health professionals and the scientific community (mid-level knowledge exchange)

These easy reading, mid-level knowledge exchange articles (providing modern, high quality technical information) is suitable for:

early-career qualified health professionals;
registrars;
university undergraduate and postgraduate students ; and any
community member specifically seeking information on modern health technology.

3. Health professionals (advanced knowledge exchange)

To maintain the high standard of our future healthcare technology services and strengthen links to doctor and health professionals, the Foundation aims to support leading scientists and engineers to learn new innovative technology.

The expertise, knowledge and interests of physical scientists and engineers in medicine overlap considerably in a field that covers a continually evolving, wide range of innovative medical research activities. See, for example:

Modern innovative topics:

Healthcare research and development activities

and, for multidisciplinary, collaborative research, see:

Topical R&D Lecture Series
