NEURA PARTNERS WITH MMG TO HELP OLDER AUSTRALIANS

NeuRA and Mark Moran Group (MMG) have partnered to help deliver NeuRA’s age-related research to MMG centres to improve health and wellbeing outcomes of older Australians, enabling them to live better for longer.

The first stage of the partnership includes the development and rollout of a new app-based wellbeing assessment tool that can predict falls among older people with 75% accuracy. The FallScreen+ tool will be trialled at MMG facilities before being rolled out nationally.

“By making breakthroughs with NeuRA and saving one life, or potentially tens of thousands of lives, we are creating a future where older Australians will continue their interests, their passions, their health and being celebrated in their community,” said MMG Co-Founder Evette Moran.

On August 11 2019, 54 people took on the City2Surf for Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA). The event is the world’s largest fun run with 80,000 participants taking on the 14km course, which stretches from Hyde Park in central Sydney to the iconic Bondi Beach.

Each year, one in three people over 65 will fall

When we’re growing up, falling is a part of life. We’re taught to get back up, dust ourselves off and keep going. But as we get older, falls can become more serious – for people over 65, a single fall can lead to permanent disability, loss of independence, social isolation and even death.

The Enhanced Advance care planning and life Review Longitudinal Intervention (EARLI) Project

The EARLI project is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (2022-2026) and is led by the University of New South Wales. In this project, the researchers are investigating whether a combination of life story work (looking back over the life, using stories, photographs and other meaningful objects) and advance care planning (discussions about preferences for future care and treatment) can help older adults receiving aged care services at home.   The EARLI project will be partnering with a number of aged care organisations in Sydney and Perth, to recruit participants who are receiving aged care services at home.   The project team are currently running a nation-wide pilot survey, which is open to anyone who is 65 years or older, living independently in the community, and able to communicate in English, Chinese or Italian. If you would like to complete the survey, please follow this link https://redcap.link/earli-pilot-survey, or contact the research team if you require further assistance.   If you would like to contact the study team, please email earli-project@neura.edu.au or call (02) 9399 1095
