Jamieson Trauma Institute leads e-scooter and e-bike injury research to drive community safety
Metro North Health’s Jamieson Trauma Institute is continuing its work in electronic personal mobility device (ePMD) data collection and reform, ensuring e-scooter and e-bike injury data is captured across a network of hospital emergency department presentations.
With ePMD injuries on the rise, Jamieson Trauma Institute remains committed to reducing the number of people ending up in hospital by working with industry partners and the community to raise awareness of the issue.
At Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, the emergency department team can see between 40 and 60 presentations a month for ePMD injuries, with alcohol and lack of knowledge about road rules contributing factors to the issue.
Combined support of $200,000 from RACQ and RBWH Foundation announced in 2022 will allow Jamieson Trauma Institute to further fund research into e-scooter injuries, with the results to shape policy and laws for improving user safety.
The funding will support three research projects over a three-year collaboration between Jamieson Trauma Institute and major emergency departments.
