Help Finalise Australia’s Top 10 Research Priorities for Preconception Health of Adolescents and Young Adults!

📣 We’re in the final stretch!
Researchers, clinicians, public health experts, and healthcare professionals — your expertise is shaping the future of preconception health in adolescents and young adults (10–24 years) across Australia.

After Round 1, we’ve shortlisted the Top 25 research questions. Now we need your input to rank them and finalise the Top 10. Your voice can help guide national research efforts to improve maternal, perinatal, and child health outcomes.

📝 Take the Round 2 survey: 🔗 https://adelaideuniwide.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0ALRjPbqL8A0LfE
📅 Open until mid/end-December 2025
Please share with colleagues working in adolescent, youth, or preconception health.

We’re seeking South Australian clinicians (gynaecologists, GPs, allied health professionals, nurses, radiologists, sonographers, etc) who support young people (aged 14-15 years) with pelvic pain to participate in a one-hour workshop in 2026 on the use of transvaginal ultrasound for diagnosing endometriosis.

Your clinical insights are vital to shaping evidence-based, youth-centered diagnostic pathways.

Calling all parents of people aged 14-25

Does your child have pelvic pain?
Do you live in South Australia?

If so, we’d love your input in a one-hour workshop to be held in early 2026 about using transvaginal ultrasound to diagnose endometriosis to help shape the future of care for young people.

Endo research update

Last month marked an important step forward for women’s health, with ultrasound for complex gynaecological conditions - such as endometriosis - now added to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) in Australia.
But how can we overcome the current shortage of sonographers with the specialised skillset required to perform these complex scans and truly improve access?
AIMEE (AI Mentor for Endometriosis Ultrasound Education) might be the answer. She is an innovative AI-powered app designed to help sonographers learn to identify and interpret endometriosis on ultrasound images.
Two of our endo researchers, Dr Jodie Avery (left) and PhD candidate and Specialist Sonographer Alison Deslandes (right), are introducing AIMEE. It's a global collaboration, born and raised right here in Adelaide.

👋Meet AIMEE - the AI Mentor for Endometriosis Ultrasound Education.

AIMEE’s ambition is to help close the shortage of sonographers with the specialised skillset required to perform complex scans for endometriois. The e-learning app for sonographers, enhanced by real-time AI feedback, provides immediate guidance to help users refine technique, improve accuracy, and build diagnostic confidence when scanning for endometriosis.

Ultrsound for complex gynaecological conditions - such as endometriosis - was added to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) in Australia earlier this month in a bid to increase accessibilty and more timely diagnosis.

Based on our commitment to accelerate research translation and improve clinical practice, Robinson Research Institute provided funding in 2024 and 2025 to support the development of AIMEE. More 👉 https://buff.ly/QfjLnVj

The global shift toward non-invasive imaging for endometriosis is finally catching up… 🌍✨

Our latest research is this new international survey!

The main purpose of the study was to understand:
The preferred method for diagnosing endometriosis;
The use of imaging for diagnostic purposes; and
The healthcare professional involvement in endometriosis diagnosis based on the resources that each country has available.


And what did they tell us? Clinicians around the world are increasingly using ultrasound before surgery — describing it as “game-changing” for mapping disease, planning surgery, and improving patient-centred care.

Plenty still to do (especially around training access and consistency), but wow… the global landscape is shifting fast. 💛

Its important to keep in mind that:
1️⃣ The sample mostly reflects FIGO networks, so responses lean toward gynaecologists.
2️⃣ It captures interest and experience, not necessarily population-level practice.
3️⃣ Resourcing and access varies hugely by country, so findings aren’t equally generalisable.

Still — the momentum is real. And it’s only growing.

✨ Huge congratulations to our Principal Investigator Professor Louise Hull! ✨

Prof Hull was recently awarded the Women in Innovation Award for Technology — a well-deserved recognition of her relentless drive to transform care for people with pelvic pain and endometriosis using cutting edge machine learning techniques.

At Imagendo, we see firsthand how her vision lifts an entire field. Louise doesn’t just push boundaries… she redraws them. 💛🧠

Here’s to bold ideas, brilliant women, and innovations that actually change lives.
