The Federal Government has launched a telehealth pilot program that will use the National Broadband Network to provide services to older Australians, people living with cancer and those requiring palliative care.
Health minister, Tanya Plibersek, and communications minister, senator Stephen Conroy, said the $20.6m program would deliver services to patients in NBN rollout areas and provide feedback on how it and other health care measures could be delivered nationwide.
Plibersek said: “The NBN Telehealth Pilot Program will provide to eligible participants in NBN early rollout areas a range of innovative services delivered through pilots funded under the program. These will include having health indicators monitored remotely – for instance, your doctor being able to take your blood pressure online while you are at home – or receiving medical consultations and healthy living support in the home.”
Conroy said he expected services would start from 1 July. The Government has released draft guidelines at www.health.gov.au. Final guidelines will be released when applications open in February or March.
