Covid-19 has created and accelerated changes in the healthcare sector and how we think about our health as individuals, a national and a society. Dr Susan Carland will be chatting about digital health in the next three podcast episodes of What Happens Next?  Listen to discover what happens if we don’t change - what are the opportunity costs if we fail to grasp this moment and learn from the pandemic. We talk to the experts in global health who are driving the changes we need right here in Australia, and how technology and behavioural science can help drive positive social outcomes. And as usual we’ll have all the practical tips you need to make change yourself.

"The science tells us that unless you address the root causes, which are often environmental and social, you are only going to get more and more health challenges."

Maithri Goonetilleke, Associate Professor in global health
