30% of Australians live outside major cities, facing delays in care and diminished outcomes.

Due to geography, time, and distance factors, people living in remote towns, communities and isolated locations have limited access to healthcare services. As a result, those individuals tend to have poorer health outcomes when compared to those living in urban areas.

Virtual Care services provide rural and remote communities access to flexible, convenient healthcare.

Visionflex’s cutting-edge virtual care devices capture high-quality images, videos, and patient vitals, and connect with specialists via video conference. This data and ability to collaborate with experts provides faster access to healthcare services and improves access to services resulting in a more accurate and timely diagnosis.

Benefits of Virtual Care Technology for Remote Care

Rural and remote areas suffer a 30-50% GP shortfall, with only 22 GPs per 100,000 people in very remote areas compared to 47 in major cities.

Virtual care bridges this gap, enabling carers and clinicians to deliver timely, high-quality healthcare services regardless of location.

By utilising a virtual care solution for in-place care and patient monitoring in between medical appointments, the patient becomes engaged and helps to effectively manage conditions.

Virtual care is ideally placed to support patients suffering from asthma, diabetes, mental health conditions and more.

Frequently asked questions

Virtual care doesn’t replace evacuation. It helps clinicians decide who needs one. When the remote doctor has clinical-grade data, they can safely manage many patients on site and escalate quickly when a patient needs to be moved.
