AUCDI Backlog Pitch Presentations – July 2025
With the release of the AUCDI R2 coming soon in June 2025 – our focus now shifts towards what needs to be included in AUCDI R3.
We are inviting members of the Sparked Community to submit an EOI to provide a three-minute pitch at the upcoming Sparked CDG event on Tuesday 29th July 2025 of what you would like to see prioritised as a data group for the Clinical Design Group to build out over the next 12 months.
These eight elevator pitch-style presentations will be a ‘rapid fire’ and energetic way of working through what data groups are needed, wanted, the justification or use case, value and benefits. At the conclusion of the pitch presentations, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion, prior to a Menti to select the priority focus areas for the next tranche of AUCDI development.
The initial AUCDI Backlog pitch presentations will provide valuable insights from frontline groups regarding the necessary clinical content specifications. These specifications will support and facilitate comprehensive care.
As there are limited spots for pitch presentations on the day, we highly encourage you to provide a detailed and well justified EOI response.
For reference, here’s what the AUCDI is designed to do:
The AUCDI is designed to support a comprehensive range of clinical use cases by enabling the capture and use of information beyond traditional medical data. This includes social, emotional, economic, and other contextual factors that influence patient health across the life course. AUCDI aims to enhance continuity of care, inform policy, and support more holistic, person-centred healthcare delivery.

We are asking that each EOI selects one of the following two options for their submission:

- Please consider that this is to be part of AUCDI R3, and keep in mind the design principles and the overarching ‘core of the core’ approach.
- If selected, the EOI form you submit will be what is used as the slide for your presentation
