Internet technologies, health informatics and statistical methods, and new delivery platforms in call centres

尽管抑郁症是导致健康障碍的主要原因，但60%的澳大利亚抑郁症患者没有得到专业帮助。向社区成员提供健康信息和复原力技能的系统很少。该项目旨在开发一种可行的系统，以减少未得到满足的需求。它将提供一种适用于卫生行业其他领域的信息传递模式，特别是涉及慢性病的领域。它适用于教育和其他涉及向公众提供信息的部门。由于电子健康是一个新兴领域，该项目也有能力在资源不足的领域积累专业知识。

Although depression is the major cause of health disability, 60% of Australians with depression do not receive professional help. There are few systems for delivering health information and resilience skills to members of the community. This project aims to develop a workable system to reduce unmet need. It will provide a model of information delivery applicable to other areas of the health industry, particularly those involving chronic disease. It has applicability to education and other sectors which involve the delivery of information to the public. Because e-health is an emerging field, the project also has the capacity to build expertise in an area which is under-resourced.
