Concussion injuries remain a significant public health challenge. A significant unmet clinical need remains for tools that allow related physiological impairments and longer-term health risks to be identified earlier, better quantified, and more easily monitored over time. We address this challenge by combining a head-mounted wearable inertial motion unit (IMU)-based physiological vibration acceleration ("phybrata") sensor and several candidate machine learning (ML) models.

Objective: To estimate the cost of completing all chronic care tasks recommended by the Central Australian Rural Practitioners Association Standard Treatment Manual (CARPA STM) for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Design And Setting: The study was conducted at a health service in a remote Central Australian Aboriginal community between July 2010 and May 2011. The chronic care tasks required were ascertained from the CARPA STM.
Reports indicate that changes are needed to close the gap for Indigenous health.

Aim: To examine chronic disease (CD)-related clinical activity and outcomes associated with introduction of a more systematic approach to chronic disease care in a remote Aboriginal community, using data from Communicare patient record management system.
Methods: We examined CD process measures, outcomes and clinical profiles in adults age 15+ years from Communicare data and compared results for two intervals. Process measures were clinic visits and proportions of eligible patients with recorded CD-related procedures or diagnostic tests.

Centre for International Health, Curtin University of Technology, Bentley, WA 6102, Australia.
Background: Sexually transmissible infection (STI) rates are persistently high in central Australia, creating conditions for a potential HIV pandemic in the area. There is a shortage of qualitative research examining the underlying factors affecting STI transmission in this region. The present study investigates Aboriginal women's current levels of knowledge regarding STI and their transmission, perception of risk for STI, patterns of condom use, access to condoms and experiences of condom negotiation with their partners.
