Ready for Regulatory Changes

Future-proofed for new healthcare and environmental compliance standards.


Workers employed in the oil, gas, and mining industry are often located in remote and diverse locations.

Regardless of whether they are on-shore or off-shore, these worksites share some form of geographical isolation. Virtual Care technology connects works and on-site medics with specialist medical services overcoming the geographical challenges of remote site work.

Due to the various demands and complexities of these environments, operators must provide a certain level of health service to their employees while at work. The challenge is to keep health services in line with acceptable healthcare standards.

Benefits of Virtual Care Technology for Resources

Virtual care enables high-quality healthcare delivery across even the most remote resources environments, supporting safer, more resilient operations.

By empowering on-site medical staff with access to off-site clinicians, specialist support and connected clinical tools, virtual care enables timely assessment, treatment and ongoing monitoring.

Used for care on site and for patient monitoring between appointments, virtual care actively engages individuals in managing their health, supporting continuity of care and better outcomes.

Virtual care is well suited to supporting a wide range of conditions, including wounds and injuries, asthma, diabetes, mental health concerns and other chronic or episodic health needs.

  • Access clinical support on-site, in a familiar environment, without the disruption of travel or evacuation.
  • Timely virtual consultations connect on-site personnel with off-site clinicians and specialists when it matters most.
  • Ongoing access to care and professional support helps reduce stress, fatigue, and the impact of working in remote, high-pressure environments.
  • Accurate remote diagnostics using connected medical devices
  • Greater reach to isolated patients, reducing travel and promoting safer care delivery
  • Seamless collaboration with on-site teams via video and data sharing
  • Sustainable workforce models: flexible model which supports extended clinical oversight
