Alumnus of the Year, International Award (October 2025)

Aastha Giri graduated with a Bachelor of Information & Communications Technology in 2016 and is the Principal Technical Advisor and Solution Architect at Digital Metro North, Queensland Health, leading major digital health innovations across Queensland. Aastha led the rollout of a crucial system for measuring haemostasis in critically bleeding patients—earning praise from the Metro North Chief Digital Health Officer for its immediate impact on clinical decision-making. She is currently working on a trial of an AI application in radiology at Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, the first public health facility in Australia to do so, to determine if it enables a reduction in time from scan to final report in instances where the AI solution identifies abnormal findings on a chest x-ray, potentially enabling clinicians to make accurate decisions faster.
