In this episode I had the chance to speak with A/Prof Louise Freebairn and Dr Ante Prodan, who’s work is contributing to The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre and BHP Foundation’s research Program 'Right care, first time, where you live'.

Louise is Senior Research Fellow at the Brain and Mind Centre, the Director of Knowledge Translation and Health Outcomes in the Epidemiology Section at ACT Health, and also holds an adjunct associate Professorship with the Research School for Population Health at the Australian National University.⁠⁠

Dr Ante Prodan is an independent director at Computer Simulation & Advanced Research Technologies⁠⁠ (CSART). He’s a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing Engineering and Mathematics at Western Sydney University, teaching computer simulation and is Systems Architect with Decision Analytics for the Sax Institute.

Checking back into this community shaping research Program from The University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre and BHP Foundation, we are hearing in depth about dynamic systems modelling and the key role this is playing within each community – building a decision support tool that will have predictability capabilities for each communities specific needs and challenges faced.

In this episode we discuss general mental health and covid 19. If you or someone you know needs help in their mental health journey, please contact life line on 13 11 14.
