Emerging Technologies and Infrastructure Requirements for Cost-Effective Healthcare

• Cost of health care is a significant percentage of GDP in the developed countries and ageing population will create more demand
• The creation of new IT tools will enable the implementation of quality systems in the practice of medicine which will improve outcomes and reduce costs
• This is perhaps the greatest IT challenge to face the world. The procedures and data in healthcare are amongst the most complex
• The NBN is a critical platform to enable the digital management of health care data
• The management of patients with active implantable devices via the internet provides opportunities for better care but provides unique challenges in data security.

Keynote Address
Case Study Presentation: Mining and Agriculture
Automation and Remote Operations in The Primary Sector

• As a remote, sparsely populated, resourced rich country, Australia is the ideal place to automate
• The past decade has seen substantial technical development and investment in field robotics
• Examine case studies about technical advances in the areas of perception, large machine control, and systems engineering
• Gain insight into how this progress in field robotics has led to significant commercial developments
• Understand how such applications are controlled at a distance using wired and wireless infrastructure
• Learn about how these opportunities will develop in the next decade

Prof Hugh Durrant-Whyte
Research Director, Australian Centre for Field Robotics

Case Study Presentation: Water
Measuring up to improve water management in Australia: How the National Broadband Network can help

• Water information improvements have been deemed a vital ingredient in national water reform, currently underpinned by an Australian Government investment of $12.9b over 10 years
• The Australian Government has allocated $450m to the Bureau of Meteorology to transform the capture and utility value of water information
• Hydrologic observing networks and communication systems are in urgent need of modernisation, and are operated by over 200 different agencies across the nation
• Low cost but reliable, real-time transmission of data from widely distributed measurement arrays, including some in remote regions, is needed to make the step changes needed
• The NBN has the potential to serve as a solid communications trunk infrastructure for relaying water and other environmental information
