Aim: To improve treatment of lymphoedema by (1) detecting, monitoring and tracking of lymphoedema and (2) selection of compression garments and (3) monitoring of compression garment tension

Lymphoedema research is being undertaken by Flinders Biomedical Engineering Group in collaboration with

Projects can be undertaken as part of the biomedical engineering work placement for 4th year Industrial Affiliate Program (IAP) and 5th year Honours students. Contact R&D Group for further information on these research areas or student placements.

Funded by: Industrial Affiliate Program (IAP) grants
Flinders Small Grants, and
FBE commercial income
