Health Technology Assessment incorporating mauri
A Mātauranga Māori approach to Health Technology Assessment
This research explores an innovative and novel approach to Health Technology Assessment. This exploratory project aims to draft a new Health Technology Assessment framework inclusive of Equity measures. The current framework used in Aotearoa New Zealand considers equity but is yet to include metrics alongside equity indicators. Our project will use Wānanga, Māori gatherings of key informants as our preferred methodology to engage with Māori experts (including patients and caregivers, clinicians and Health Technology Assessors) in open discussions to determine the appropriate measures of Equity to be included in a prototype Health Technology Assessment framework. A literature review of Equity measures used throughout the world, and of relevance to our setting, will also be conducted. The outcome of this project is potentially transformative since it gives voice to Māori in drafting an enhanced, fair and equitable health technology decision-making framework.

Is hydrogen geostorage culturally and socially acceptable? Dr Kepa Morgan leads the 'Relationships with Wai and Nukutū' component of Pūhiko Nukutū. Our research explores Mana Whenua perspectives relating to hydrogen creation (destruction of wai/water), utilisation, and safe underground storage.

Inductive Power Transfer (IPT)
Inductive Power Transfer is also known as Wireless Power Transfer which is the transfer of electrical energy without physical contact.
Our Research Objective in the broader study is to use the Mauri Model to evaluate and model the travel behaviour of participating Iwi and Māori organisations in the study rohe (area). In addition we are capturing the enablers and obstacles of (battery) electric vehicle use compared to internal combustion engine vehicles from the perspective of our Iwi partners.
