PROFESSOR RENUKA VISVANATHAN PhD, FRACP, FANZSGM, FAAG, MBA (Health Service Management), G.Cert. Ed (Higher Education), MBBS, ATCL
 
Professor Visvanathan has an international reputation in the field of nutritional frailty research. She is especially interested in the provision of quality health care to prevent the impact of frailty and to improve the well-being, function, and quality of life of older people, including people living with dementia. She is also interested in research that is likely to translate evidence into improved clinical practice.
 
 
In 2022, Professor Visvanathan was named one of the 50 leaders globally (Healthy Ageing 50), working to transform the world into a better place to grow old as part of the United Nations' Healthy Ageing Decade. She is a current member of the World Health Organisation Clinical Consortium in Healthy Ageing.
Professor Visvanathan has been the Head of Unit of the Aged & Extended Care Services at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (& Basil Hetzel Institute), Central Adelaide Local Health Network, since 2005. In that role, she oversees a geriatric medicine clinical service with 10 consultants and up to 5 advanced trainees.She leads the Adelaide Geriatrics Training and Research with Aged Care (G-TRAC) research group at Adelaide University, which began as an innovative partnership project between the then University of Adelaide and Resthaven Inc. at Paradise.  She is also the current course coordinator for the 5th year geriatric medicine metropolitan course as part of Adelaide University's MD program.
Professor Visvanathan was Project Lead to the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Frailty and Healthy Ageing (2015-2022), a global network focused on frailty research to improve clinical care for older people, led out of the Basil Hetzel Institute/The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. During that time, she was also Chief Investigator and an executive committee member of the Registry of Senior Australians, based at SAHMRI as part of Health Translation SA.
 
Professor Visvanathan was previously a board member of Resthaven Inc. She is a current committee member of the Australasian Association of Gerontology (AAG) Executive- SA Division. She is also a member of the SA Division of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. Professor Visvanathan is Associate Editor of the Journal of Frailty and Ageing.

ADELAIDE GERIATRICS TRAINING AND RESEARCH WITH AGED CARE (Adelaide GTRAC) GROUP

Group Leader- Professor Renuka Visvanathan (Google Scholar h-index 58, i-10 index 170-11th May 2026). This group is affiliated with the Aged and Extended Care Services (geriatric medicine) at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Basil Hetzel Institute in the Central Adelaide Local Health Network.

Professor Renuka Visvanathan began as a senior lecturer in geriatric medicine at the University of Adelaide in 2005. She established an academic geriatric medicine program 'de novo' at the University of Adelaide and developed strengths for the University, especially in frailty and healthy ageing research. This research group has now transitioned over to Adelaide University with the new University's commencement in January 2026.

 

CURRENT RESEARCH FOCUS

GERONTECHNOLOGY

We have been interested in using technology to improve the health of older people.  This is a current area of research focus for our group. Professor Renuka Visvanathan collaborates closely with A/Prof Damith Ranasinghe and Dr Tim Chen from the Adelaide University School of Computer Science and Information Technology on research ideas.

 

AVOID Frailty Digital Behaviour Change Intervention: This project arose because of a partnership that was established with the Canadian Frailty Network (Professor John Muscedere). This culminated in the AVOID Frailty- Digital Behaviour Change Intervention Project, which was funded by the Hospital Research Foundation (2024-2025). This was a project in partnership with consumers where we adapted the DBCI web platform developed by the Canadian Frailty Network to promote healthy lifestyles aligned to the AVOID framework (Activity, Vaccination, Optimising Medication, Interaction and socialisation, healthy Diet and nutrition). 

  • This video by Prof Visvanathan discusses frailty within the AVOID framework?
  • This video, developed by the City of Charles Sturt, discusses the project and highlights the importance of consumer participation for research.
  • Project Fellow Dr Dollard was on 891 ABC Radio, talking about the research.
  • The project is now published (2026) in Age and Ageing. This is among the first studies to show that a digital intervention is able to reverse frailty risk, contributing effectively to frailty prevention.

 

AmbiGEM- Falls Prevention In Hospitals: We (Professor Renuka Visvanathan and A/Prof Damith Ranasinghe) were funded by a NHMRC Project grant in 2015 to develop a falls prevention technology incorporating wearable sensors and artificial intelligence. The aim of the project was to prevent falls in older hospitalised patients. This is one of the largest in hospital wearable sensor trial for falls prevention.

The research findings are published in J Gerontol Bio Med Sci.  

Findings from a cost-effectiveness and value-of-information study are also published.

 

HEALTHY AGEING- INTRINSIC CAPACITY

In 2015, the World Health Organisation reframed Healthy Ageing to take a public health and lifespan approach towards healthy longevity.  The focus of this approach was to maintain functional ability into older age, allowing older people to do what they value. Professor Visvanathan has been part of the WHO Clinical Consortium in Healthy Ageing since 2016 and has been actively advocating and supporting WHO's efforts to promote Healthy Ageing, including undertaking research relating to Intrinsic Capacity. 

Together with A/Prof Dr Azmeraw Amare from the College of Health Adelaide Univeristy, we have been undertaking research to better understand the biology underpinning intrinsic capacity.

Our recent research generated interest internationally. Our PhD candidate, Mr Melkamu Beyene presented this work as a rising star at the Internation Conference of Sarcopenia and Frailty in the USA in 2026.

Other relevant publications to this research include:

  1. Development and validation of an intrinsic capacity score in the UK Biobank study.
  2. Intrinsic Capacity and Its Biological Basis: A Scoping Review.
  3. A genome-wide association study identified 10 novel genomic loci associated with intrinsic capacity.

 

 

FRAILTY

On Friday, 30th September, the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Frailty and Healthy Ageing held its official launch at Sanctuary in the Adelaide Zoo. The centre was officially launched by the Chancellor of The University of Adelaide, Rear Admiral Kevin John Scarce AC, CSC, RANR. The project ended in 2022. This CRE produced much of the foundational research underpinning frailty research in Australia, and we continue to lead the way in frailty research.

This video showcases some of the important research outputs from the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Frailty and Healthy Ageing, 2015-2022. Hear from our investigators.

Together with Dr Olga Theou from Dalhousie University, we are one of the first groups to validate the Pictorial Fit Frail Scale in Primary Care. This work directly arose from the CRE. The research was conducted in Malaysia, and today, the scale (translated into Bahasa Malaysia) has been rolled out through community geriatric clinics in Malaysia (GeCares and GeKo) as part of a Ministry of Health of Malaysia initiative. This is an excellent example of getting evidence into clinical practice.

 

The videos below showcase our group's research relating to frailty, partnership products with consumers:

This video was developed by the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Frailty and Healthy Ageing - 2015-2022 in partnership with consumers. It is directed at consumers and provides an excellent overview of what frailty is and how to manage it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agGYvoLL_vo&t=32s

Here are some other consumer-co-designed videos related to frailty.

This research is led by our research fellow (till December 2025)- Dr Agathe Dari Jadczak.

 

DEMENTIA

Professor Visvanathan is currently a chief investigator on a project led out of Monash University to update the national dementia guidelines, expected to be published late 2026.

 

PAST TEACHING/RESEARCH PROJECTS

Teaching and Research with Aged Care Services (TRACS)

The Adelaide Geriatrics Training and Research with Aged Care (GTRAC) research group pioneered medical student teaching in partnership with an aged care provider (Resthaven Inc.) as part of the Teaching and Research with Aged Care services initiative. 

Prior to 2013, academic efforts in geriatric medicine (teaching and research) were conducted only in hospital settings. Given population ageing and the need for a greater understanding of community and long-term care, the Adelaide GTRAC Centre was established to provide our graduating medical students with exposure to health settings beyond acute hospitals.

This project ended in 2026 with the closure of the GTRAC location at Resthaven Paradise.

The following video showcases that initiative. Video Link.

The centre was launched in 2013. ABC news feed.
