Professor Ian Craddock is University Lead for Digital Health which sees him leading teams of researchers that are exploring how the use of technology can be used to address health and medical problems. Projects underway include developing sensors for use in the home to diagnose and to manage health conditions, addressing heart failure through a soft robotic heart that consists of a robotic shell, using artificial muscles and sensors to enable natural motion, examining the gradual responsiveness of particular medications, and analysing patient data for better healthcare management and planning. Professor Craddock also leads on the education of medics and healthcare practitioners in the use of technology. Professor Craddock's earlier career was focused on computational electromagnetics. He developed practical, working systems for landmine detection and the world’s first clinical radar imaging system for breast cancer detection. More recently his research has broadened to include a range of technologies for pervasive health monitoring and the emergence of more data-driven healthcare and personalised health. His team has been rated top in the Health category of the World Technology Network awards. Education 1995 - B.Eng Electronics and Communication, University of Bristol

Jay Schnitzer is senior vice president, chief technology officer, and chief medical officer at The MITRE Corporation. In this role, he directs the organization鈥檚 independent research and development (R&D) program and manages development of corporate technology strategy, which spans MITRE鈥檚 operating centers and sponsor community. He also leads corporate and national initiatives in health and life sciences, building coalitions leveraging the best talent across the nation in these communities.

Previously, as the director of biomedical sciences at MITRE, Schnitzer oversaw the organization鈥檚 health transformation R&D program. In that capacity, he identified opportunities for MITRE to make important, transformative, and impactful differences in healthcare for our sponsors and the nation. As part of this work, he led the writing and editing of the Integrated Report for the Independent Assessment performed in response to Section 201 of the Veterans Choice Act and organized and facilitated the Blue-Ribbon Panel. To support the Department of Veterans Affairs鈥� (VA) decision on its electronic health record (EHR) system, he facilitated a special Listening Forum for the VA Secretary in August 2017, at which industry experts on EHR implementation discussed leading practices. In January 2018, he organized a panel of EHR interoperability experts, which produced a report containing recommendations as input for the VA鈥檚 contract with a commercial EHR vendor.

Before joining MITRE, Schnitzer was the director of the Defense Sciences Office at DARPA, where he led a team of 20 program managers and 70 support staff overseeing R&D across multiple domains. In addition to life sciences, biomedical research, and quantum physics, these R&D areas included materials science, advanced mathematics, and engineering. 

Formerly, Schnitzer was chief medical officer and senior vice president at Boston Scientific Corporation (BSC). His responsibilities at BSC included medical and clinical oversight of the entire product lifecycle for all medical devices manufactured by four business divisions of the company: endoscopy, urology/women鈥檚 health, neurovascular, and neuromodulation.

Prior to BSC, Schnitzer was on staff at Massachusetts General Hospital as an attending pediatric surgeon, with a joint appointment at the Shriners Hospital for Children burn center and a faculty position at Harvard Medical School.

In recognition of his work on the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition and his leadership of the MITRE independent R&D program, WashingtonExec named Schnitzer its 2020 Healthcare Industry Executive of the Year. The award recognizes executives fostering innovation for the federal government.

Schnitzer received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from MIT, and an M.D. from Harvard Medical School. He is board certified and re-certified in surgery and pediatric surgery.

Carol Maher is a Research Professor and the Director of the Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA), a thriving research centre with over 120 members at UniSA. At the heart of her work is a strong desire to impact everyday activities like physical activity, sleep, and sedentary behaviours, to positively influence children's and adults' health.
Carol has an affinity for incorporating technology into her research. From wearables and social networking to smartphone apps and artificial intelligence, she sees the potential of these tools to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. Her approach to health improvement operates at a system level, aiming to influence lifestyle and health in a scalable way that can benefit Australians in the schools, the community, and healthcare settings.
Her research has garnered significant support, as evidenced by four consecutive fellowships from the ARC, National Heart Foundation, NHMRC and MRFF, including an MRFF Investigator Grant (2021-2025). As CIA, she has led, or currently leads, 4 NHMRC and MRFF projects. Overall, she has secured funding for a total of 10 NHMRC projects, 4 MRFF projects, and 2 ARC projects. Collectively, Carol has received over $20M in research funding, and published over 200 journal articles. Her influence in her field is underscored by her recognition as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher (a distinction awarded to 1 in 1000 researchers) for three consecutive years 2020-2022.  
Outside of her own research, Carol serves as a Senior Editor for BMC Public Health, and Chief Specialty Editor for Frontiers in Digital Health. She is on the Executive Committee of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity and a Co-Convenor for the SA researcher-practitioner network: Healthy Development Adelaide.
