The Australian government is investing in cutting-edge research to create and test the next generation of wearable health monitoring technologies. Through the Primary Health Care Research program of the Medical Research Future Fund, a total of USD 7.5 million will be allocated to four research projects aimed at improving health monitoring and access to diagnostic testing. The study will test three "wearables," or gadgets that can be concealed in garments or worn as accessories. These gadgets will track vitals for those with hypertension, assist children with cerebral palsy who are unable to walk, and keep Type 2 diabetics on track with things like exercise and proper eating.
