Overview
Background
I am a consultant Accredited Practising Dietitian and Senior Research Fellow in the Centre for Online Health. I have a PhD in technology-supported lifestyle interventions and delivering dietary education to improve people’s dietary self-management. My research program focuses on technology-enabled health systems and interventions for improving patient-centred care in chronic disease and simplifying nutrition communication for clinicians and people living with chronic conditions. I work in private practice, primarily providing professional consultancy services for kidney nutrition. I also provide consultation for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. You can learn more about my private practice here - https://www.mynutritionclinic.com.au/renal-dietitian/
RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests are in 1) Nutrition & Dietetics – primarily diet quality and focusing on methods to improve diet quality in people with chronic kidney disease and other complex chronic conditions; 2) Health Service Delivery & 3) Digital Health – specifically focused on preparing to workforce, codesigning and testing technology-assisted interventions to deliver lifestyle interventions. My current work focuses on technology-enabled health systems and interventions for improving patient-centred care in chronic disease and simplifying nutrition communication for clinicians and people living with chronic conditions.

Research impacts
Jaimon Kelly has led systematic reviews which have led to health impact including a significant paradigm shift away from single-nutrient recommendations reflected in 2020 international best practice guidelines – based on the systematic review on healthy dietary patterns and risk of mortality in chronic kidney disease which he led. A collection of his seminal publications has been independently blogged on nephrologist, dietitian and the world’s largest patient website (serving >2 million CKD patients).
In recognition of his pioneering telehealth-delivered nutrition research in chronic disease, he received the highly esteemed VC Award for Early Career Research Excellence for outstanding research contribution and impact. These significant contributions to telehealth in dietetics and the leadership and impact his work has had led to him being invited to Dietitians Australia inaugural telehealth working group and subsequently was lead author of the Dietitians Australia Position Statement on Telehealth. This work has been instrumental in supporting advocacy for ongoing telehealth funding for the dietetic profession, which is a key driver for him as a consultant dietitian also working in primary care across South-East Queensland.
His clinical and research leadership has given him a thorough grasp and understanding of the practice gaps that exist in primary care, and has positioned him as a key stakeholder who is consulted to develop private practice education resources and telehealth-delivered diet programs, most recently at QLD Government Health agencies, Dietitians Australia, AMGEN Australia. This also includes consultation on International research trials which have pivoted intervention delivery approaches in response to the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic.

Improving digital health literacy in chronic disease management
This PhD program will determine and improve the digital health literacy of patients and the health professional workforce working in chronic diseases in tertiary centres in Queensland. This will involve the design and validation of a digital health literacy instrument for these populations, and an Australian first evaluation of digital health literacy of the chronic condition demographic which can guide decision makers and program implementers moving forward.
This PhD will culminate in the development and pilot implementation of evidence-based and end-user-centred training and education materials, in the health service, to improve the delivery of effective, safe, and quality virtual care chronic condition services.
Information on applying for a PhD, including entry requirements, scholarships, and fees can be found on the UQ webpage for future students https://future-students.uq.edu.au/study/programs/doctor-philosophy-7501
