A unique approach to stroke research
The UTS Stroke Research Collaborative (SRC) focuses solely on stroke rehabilitation rather than acute emergency and hospital care. More stroke survivors are living in the community for decades with the effects of stroke and there is a vast need for this research.
Using the power of collaborative research across the university, pulling in expertise from diverse areas, from AI and robotics through to law, design, finance, architecture and health, SRC is committed to meaningful research and support for stroke survivors and their families.
About us
Commencing in July 2024, the Stroke Research Collaborative was formed to help address the research gap in stroke rehabilitation worldwide, as almost all stroke research funding is focused on emergency and acute hospital care.
Our research
Using all the tools of multidisciplinary research, we are making impactful advances in post-stroke rehabilitation and care. Our wealth of experience encompasses artificial intelligence, human-centred computing, Indigenous research methods, epidemiology, health economics and more.
Our people
Our network across all disciplines at UTS includes a growing body of more than 50 researchers, including world-renowned academics.
