Our decision support system works on improving the treatment and management of patients in the emergency and trauma environment. Recently, we developed an emergency based clinical decision support system which is accessible within 3 major emergency training hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Our clinical decision support systems are based on solid studies, peer reviews and RnD. Some of our past research achievements are outlined below:
