    Each year, 1.3 million people lose their lives on roads globally (WHO). In close partnership with law enforcement and government agencies across Australia, New Zealand, the USA and the UK, Acusensus develops intelligent solutions to address road safety challenges, including those that contribute to the ‘Fatal 5’: speeding, seatbelt non-compliance and distracted driving.

    Our work reflects our mission of changing behaviours, saving lives, delivering measurable, long-term impact. Since 2020, we have partnered with Spinal Cord Injuries Australia (EmployAbility) to create meaningful employment opportunities and career pathways for people living with spinal cord injuries and related conditions, including those directly affected by road trauma.

    Research Partner

    Our PhD project with Edith Cowan University aims to develop a practical strategy for integrating physical activity monitoring (PAM) into clinical settings for people with physical disabilities resulting from neurological conditions. The research will be embedded within a community-based exercise clinic and will explore how PAM can support improvements in physical activity levels and cardiometabolic health. It will also assess current health and activity levels among participants, involve consumers and the community in designing an implementation protocol, and evaluate the effectiveness of PAM in boosting engagement. Key factors such as feasibility, acceptability, reach, and adoption will be examined to ensure the strategy is both impactful and sustainable.
