About us

At the Australian Centre for Precision Health and Technology (PRECISE), we are driving a transformation away from ineffective and inefficient one-size-fits-all healthcare, toward ultra-personalised precision care.

What we do

PRECISE researchers are working on some of the most promising advances in spinal cord injury treatment in the world.

Biospine

BioSpine is a Griffith University-led research project aimed at restoring movement and sensation in individuals with a spinal cord injury. Drawing from compelling scientific evidence highlighting the human nervous system's ability to self-repair, the BioSpine project is developing a groundbreaking therapeutic device. This merges the potency of diverse rehabilitation technologies, drug therapy, and state-of-the-art brain-machine interfaces rooted in a digital twin model of the patient's neuromusculoskeletal system. The goal? To provide unparalleled stimuli to both motor and sensory systems, optimising neural plasticity and seamlessly bridging the disrupted link between the brain and muscles. This ambitious endeavor is steered by an interdisciplinary consortium of experts from Griffith University, the University of Sydney, and Harvard University. BioSpine is generously supported by the Motor Accident Insurance Commission, Perpetual IMPACT and Griffith University.
