University of Auckland researchers will use a $5 million grant from the Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) to build a multi-algorithm risk prediction engine and health information platform for vascular disease.

Part of a record $60m in funding for 52 projects announced by the HRC this week, the Vascular risk Informatics using Epidemiology & the Web (VIEW) project is led by epidemiologist Rod Jackson from the university's School of Population Health.
