Dr Monique Boord is a Research Fellow based at Flinders University and adjunct Research Associate at the University of South Ausralia's Alliance for Research in Exercise, Nutrition and Activity (ARENA) research centre. Monique is an early career cognitive neuroscientist with a background in neural vulnerability to delirium and its subtypes in older cardiac patients. Monique's current role coordinates an MRFF funded study aiming to validate tests of spatial navigation in older adults through three existing cohorts: the ACTIVate cohort from UniSA, the ADNeT Screening and Trials study, and memory clinics based in three large local health networks (CAHLN, SAHLN, NAHLN). Monique has previously worked as a post doc on developing and implementing a digital pharmacist service in residential aged care to detect and mitigate commonly experienced medicine related problems. Monique has extensive teaching experience of undergraduate psychology courses as well as supervision experience.

Medicine related harms are a national problem, and even more so for aged care residents. Moniques current research involves implementing a grant funded study that aims to develop and implement a digitally enabled, evidence-based, pharmacist service to actively detect medicine related harms in residential aged care. 

Delirium is a neurocogntive disorder that increases risk of dementia, long-term cognitive impairment and mortality. It is thought that functional brain disintegration preceeds delirium. Identifying those at risk for delirium prior to a precipitating event is crucial, as 30-40% of delirium can be avioded using preventative interventions. Moniques doctoral research used electroencephalography (EEG) prior to older adults undergoing common cardiac proceduresto characterise preoperative delirium vulnerability.
