Coviu's Telehealth Blog

COVID-19 has hit rural communities hard. However, it has also ushered in the era of telemedicine, which has revolutionized rural healthcare.

Dr Annie Banbury, Clinical Research Lead at Coviu speaks with Hospital and Healthcare about the massive role telehealth can play in providing support for NDIS care.

Residents of rural and remote Australia often experience disadvantages and inequalities when it comes to healthcare access and delivery. Traditionally, access to speech and language sessions for children has been restricted to in-person visits. As a result, access to speech therapy for children living in rural and regional areas has been extremely limited and non-existent in many remote areas.

Dr. Richard Harvey is a telehealth evangelist and has been passionate about the potential of virtual care for over 30 years. In 2017 he established Telepsychiatrist.online - a highly successful virtual telepsychiatry clinic based in rural Victoria. Coviu interviewed Dr. Richard Harvey to learn more about his online practice and the delivery of psychiatry services online.
