Former Australian Digital Health Agency interim CEO and chief operating officer Bettina McMahon will step up as the new chair of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH) next month.

Ms McMahon has been chosen to succeed inaugural chair Michael Walsh, who has chaired the institute board since its establishment in February 2020 following the merger of the Health Informatics Society of Australia and the Australasian College of Health Informatics.
