University of Adelaide PhD Scholarship Opportunity: Zimmer Biomet – Mymobility 2025

The Mymobility Scholarship is funded by Zimmer Biomet to support a full-time PhD student who is commencing research in orthopaedics and patient monitoring. Mymobility was developed by Zimmer Biomet to empower clinicians and patients to better understand physical function following total knee and hip replacement. We are seeking a motivated student with demonstrated experience or interest in research to investigate the acceptability of Mymobility as a digital rehabilitation tool and then subsequently investigate the healthcare costs across public and private hospitals in Australia.
