A new national project in Australia is establishing a big data foundation to standardise the way care for individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury is delivered.
Building on existing TBI projects, it will integrate clinical, biomarker, imaging and psychosocial data based on the Clinical-Biomarker-Imaging-Modifier classification framework, which addresses the complexity and heterogeneity of TBI cases. The project has three complementary workstreams focused on building an interoperable and future-proof data pipeline and laying the foundation for personalised, evidence-based care.
The project is a national collaboration involving various academic and research institutes, health services, registries, research networks, medical peak bodies, health advocacy groups, statutory authorities, and consumer and patient groups. It targets to onboard 15 trauma and rehabilitation sites nationwide.
