In the news: Canberra Times

On Sunday, following our appearance at NICTA-Canberra Tech-Net, the Canberra Times ran an article on the swimming study we are currently undertaking. Thanks to Frances Stewart for the great story!

Your laps could help Australia's Olympic swimmers

We are currently looking for volunteers who would like to swim, to test new technology developed between NICTA and the Australian Institute of Sport.

The devices are worn by swimmers, and can tell all the major aspects of what the swimmer is doing.

More information is available from the registration page.

ABC local radio also ran an interview on the call for volunteers.

2. Point-to-point sharing of health data - so health data networks will interconnect
3. Apps/middle-ware - less browsing more aggregating.
