The MeG team build upon an extensive track record in delivery of highly successful research-oriented IT projects across a variety of disciplines. Wherever possible we build directly upon the results of these projects from a software perspective, but more importantly from a software engineering perspective to support the development and rollout of software solutions. We summarise the current portfolio of projects here and some of the previously completed projects involving the MeG staff to give an idea of the depth and breadth of research-oriented IT that we build upon. Many of these projects are for University of Melbourne researchers. This is made possible through an internal grant scheme funded through the Melbourne Collaborative Research Infrastructure Program (MCRIP) program to support a research software-oriented platform: Platform for Research Software Systems (PRESS). Where funding allows, the MeG team work across and support PRESS projects.
Bio-Dash
Bio-Dash focuses on development of a range of games to explore relaxation techniques and approaches. This is a collaboration with academics in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education.
InnovatEd iPad application
InnovatEd iPad application realises a generic auto feedback application. The application was developed to support administrators with in the Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre in the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Halovision
Halovision provides a web application supporting use of light microscopy tools to image and measure at any length scale. The project involved a collaboration with academics in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Melbourne.
Cochlear implant web application
Cochlear implant web application provides a platform for benchmarking Cochlear ear implants to specific patients. This project involves a collaboration with academics in the School of Computing and Information Systems and Biomedical Engineering.
Oximetry
Oximetry uses a bluetooth oximeter to non-invasively monitor patient physiological parameters such as heart rate and oxygen level. This data is captured using an iPad application and stored on a Cloud infrastructure at The University of Melbourne. The project involves a collaboration with academics in the School of Computing and Information Systems and clinicians at University of Monash University.
Deploying NFTs for Artists and Arts Organizations
Deploying NFTs for Artists and Arts Organizations focuses on exploring the use of Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on a case study involving the Australian Orchestra. The project involves a collaboration with academics in the School of Computing and Information Systems and based on a grant from the Algorand foundation.
TediPrem
TediPrem provides an early, intensive intervention for preterm infants born less than 32 weeks’ gestational age. It includes activity-based motor, cognitive and language play-based training and actively involves parents in order to strengthen their confidence, wellbeing and bonding with their preterm infant. The project involves a collaboration with medical researchers at The Royal Women’s Hospital.
Early Years Toolbox
Early Years Toolbox provides a collection of readily accessible measures of young children’s emerging cognitive, self-regulatory, language, numeracy and social development. The system provides a game-like assessment that has been developed for the iPad.
Peer review
Peer review focuses on the development of a web application to support targeted matching and associated peer review of academics at the University of Melbourne. The platform involves a collaboration with academics in the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Sleep apnoea and machine learning
Sleep apnoea and machine learning focuses on application of artificial intelligence to address sleep challenges facing spinal cord injured patients. The project involves a collaboration with academics in the School of Computing and Information Systems and from the Austin Hospital.
