Coviu's Telehealth Blog

Even before the pandemic, Eat Speak Learn's Co-Founders Chris & Lauren MacDonald were planning on rolling out telehealth for their integrated practice offering speech pathology, physiotherapy, dietetics, occupational therapy and psychology for children, with a unique specialty in paediatric feeding disorders. Fast forward to now, an innovative and highly successful NDIS provider, Eat Speak Learn, is an exemplar of hybrid care in action for paediatric patients seeking allied health services.

It's been another busy month at Coviu from topical webinars, upcoming industry events and a number of exciting product updates. We are thrilled to keep building a virtual care platform that enables clinicians to deliver patient/client outcomes efficiently and securely. This year we have officially surpassed 9 million+ consultations delivered together on our platform. This is an amazing representation of the scale of care that is being provided virtually, and we hope we can continue to provide a platform that enables clinicians and patients alike to deliver and receive care no matter their location.

Things have already kicked off with a bang this year, with lots to dive into this month from webinars, product updates and lots of other exciting Coviu news.

Coviu welcomes Jenny Aiken, who joins as Director during a pivotal time of growth for the company as the platform looks to capitalise on increased demand and budget allocations for healthcare technology.

And just like that, 2022 comes to a close! What a wild ride it has been with Coviu launching in the US and expanding our software to include Remote Patient Monitoring capabilities, Phone Telehealth and Group Consultations to provide an all-in-one Virtual Care Engagement Platform. You may have even spotted us cruising around Sydney on some buses!

Aged care residents will have the option of telehealth this festive season for mental health support, bridging service gaps during the holiday period, Aged Care News reports.

Telehealth has been changing the healthcare landscape for the better for decades. But only recently has it become a viable option for more specialised practitioners like speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and audiologists.

As everyone starts to wind down and get ready for the holiday break, the Coviu elves have been hard at work! From a number of product updates and initiatives, to important discussions being had around telehealth in Aged Care and Health Equity in Australia, to exciting industry events and team collaboration - there is a lot to dive into this month! So without further ado, let's dig in!

Telehealth has been around since the late 1950s, but only in recent years has the adoption of telehealth skyrocketed. In large part due to the COVID-19 pandemic, more patients than ever sought out virtual care from health professionals. Telehealth was a convenient, safer alternative access to care.

Telehealth is important in aged care, but staff must be properly trained to optimise its effectiveness, Bianca Roberts from Aged Care News reports.
