Technology the key to Australia’s health challenges

Telstra has unveiled a display of futuristic medical technology as part of a new business health initiative, it says will be critical in helping

Australia
cope with future demands on the health system.

 


A new wireless version of the traditional doctors’ stethoscope and intelligent remote monitoring systems, designed to help treat and support people out of hospitals and nursing homes, were among the hi-tech equipment on show recently at the Telstra Experience Centre in

Sydney
.

 


Telstra Business Group Managing Director, Deena Shiff, said greater use of smart networked health technology. was the key to meeting the challenges faced by an ageing population, and greater demand for scarce resources.

 


Technology on show for the launch of Telstra’s Business health solutions encompassed both products already available, and some soon to be released, including:

  • Remote monitoring systems – connecting patients in their homes with a continuous information feedback link back to health professionals, to assist in the management of chronic illnesses;
  • Integrated care systems – allowing patients to securely share records with carers including community nurses, physicians and pharmacists.
