I make complex health knowledge easier to learn and use

I am Filippe Oliveira, an academic at Monash University. My work brings together reproductive science, health promotion, learning design and education research.

Lecturer, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health

What I work on

Pregnancy and health promotion

Supporting informed health decisions

I develop and study education that helps people make informed health decisions, with a particular interest in exercise during pregnancy.

Technology and learning

Using technology with evidence and purpose

I explore how technologies, including artificial intelligence, can support learning. My work focuses on responsible use in large cohorts, with limited time and rapid technological change.

Health professions education

Making specialist knowledge accessible

I design and lead education in reproductive science and women’s health. I work with clinical experts to create accessible learning for students and health professionals.
