Welcome to Wiser Healthcare

A research collaboration for reducing overdiagnosis and overtreatment

We aim to conduct research that will reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment in Australia and around the world.

Wiser Healthcare is a research collaboration involving The University of Sydney, Bond University, Monash University, the University of Wollongong, and international colleagues. We investigate the cause and size of the problem and test new solutions, in the areas of cancer, cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular focus on overdiagnosis caused by imaging (like CT scans and MRI scans), testing biomarkers (for example, blood tests like the Prostate Specific Antigen test), and genetic tests. Here you can find out about our plans, read our work, see the evidence about overdiagnosis, and get help to make decisions, whether you are a clinician, policymaker, or citizen considering your own healthcare.
