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.
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.'
