Biography:
An accomplished researcher and innovation consultant with unique expertise in technology innovation and decision support methods as well as strategies. Dr Wagholikar is currently working with APCRC-Q on collaborative research projects aimed at improving understanding of advanced prostate cancer management through data-driven models as well technology interventions for better health services delivery.
Dr Wagholikar has worked on variety of prostate cancer research projects ranging from developing ICT capability for advanced prostate cancer MDT clinic and developing health economic model for advanced prostate cancer. Dr Wagholikar has made a significant contribution in developing a new baseline health economics model for advanced prostate cancer. His unique experience adds tremendous value in health services research for prostate cancer survivorship. Wagholikar also has extensive experience in technology innovation for better health services delivery. The ability is demonstrated through various health services projects undertaken at Queensland Health and the Australian e-Health Research Centre, CSIRO. Dr Wagholikar has applied innovative decision support models and has led key research projects that addressed challenging research questions as well as business problems in health service delivery for prostate cancer as well as other diseases. Wagholikar has also involved in securing funding of more than $100,000 for Emergency Medicine from Queensland Medical Research Foundation (QEMRF). Dr Wagholikar’s work on prostate cancer is published in high quality publications and presented his work in high quality conferences. Wagholikar is also an active member of IEEE- Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). Wagholikar is a chair of IEEE EMBS chapter in Australia and makes a voluntary contribution to IEEE Asia-Pacific region to promote technology awareness for better health delivery. Dr Wagholikar has also taught information technology and information systems courses in the universities for more than a decade at an under-graduate as well as post-graduate level. Dr Wagholikar has also supervised research project students at Masters Level.
