University of Western Australia Researchers Receive Funding for Innovative Heart Disease Detection

Researchers at The University of Western Australia have been awarded over $298,000 from the Heart Foundation's 2026 research funding program to develop innovative, non-invasive technologies for early heart disease detection. Projects include a wearable radar sensor for continuous neck vein pressure measurement to detect heart failure earlier and an advanced retinal imaging technique as a screening tool for coronary artery disease.
