Intelligent remote monitoring systems are designed to help treat and support people out of hospitals and nursing homes

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 are among the hi-tech equipment going on show in Australia for the first time at the Telstra Experience Centre in Sydney.
The technology on show included:
Mobile devices – providing medicos with all the information they need where ever they are. This includes the launch of Mobile MIMS – the drug information ‘bible’ for doctors and health care professionals now available using Windows mobile 6.0 PDAs’ on Telstra’s Next G network.
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.
Coordinated care systems – allowing patients to accurately share records with carers including community nurses, physicians and pharmacists

This technology will also assist in the management of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension by enabling continuous feedback between patients and their caregivers. The outcome is more proactive, efficient and comprehensive care that can pre-empt chronic illness related complications, costly follow-up and in some cases disability.
In a statement, the telco said: “Telstra recognises that smart networked health technology linked by high-speed networks is the answer. Already we’ve seen rural nursing organisations have been among the biggest users of our Next G Network and they have reported big savings while improving service as they work remotely and have better access to information”.
