Funded Activity Summary

Remote patient assessment using digital stethoscope for telehealth systems in Australia. The direct saving will be about $15 600 per individual patient. Indirect cost reductions will significantly minimise travel for patients, national savings in transport infrastructure costs, greenhouse gases emissions and all the other undesirable consequences of either private or public transport travel for patients and/or specialist physicians. Other indirect benefits include incidental learning by staff working with patients in the remote location through the remote link. Other advantages include happier patients as they will not need to leave their home and loved ones as often. This can be translated into national benefits through reduction in anxiety and less stressful patients.
