Concept: Digital Town Square• Online infrastructure for data sharing
and evidence-based resources:• Policy at local and state level;
• Health service & urban planning;
• Models of health care delivery and place based health promotion.
• Online community:• Sustainable learning, planning and support networks;
• Place based e-health promotion;
• Integrated planning.
The Research

• Digitises existing offline interventions;• Compares online & offline environments
& outcomes;• Explores synergies between online &
offline approaches to health promotion & service delivery.

Digital Town Square System Overview
The Modules
• Core modules:– HDSS (web based GIS)– Predictive Modelling– Evidence Repository– Online Coaching– Digital Stories (lived experience of DOH)– Coalition Private Domain
The Benefits• Central point of contact/reference• Accesses rural/remote consumers• Sharing ‘siloed’ data across complex networks• Links consumers, practitioners & policy
makers• Cost-effective digital interventions • Ready data collection opportunities• Local relevance of information & networks• Portable infrastructure
Key Questions for HIM• How can the local community readily provide input
into health-related programs and services?
• How can we foster collaboration across services?
• How can we make better use of research and evidence-based resources?
• How do we foster a holistic approach to health using information?
