Can technology improve care without increasing staffing?

In this interview, Chris Kelly, CEO of Yukana Aged Care, reflects on two years of using Talius and the measurable impact it has had on care delivery, operational efficiency and family confidence.

Despite caring for residents with increasingly complex needs, Chris explains that staffing levels have remained stable since implementing the platform. By providing care teams with better information and greater visibility of resident needs, Talius has helped staff prioritise their time more effectively while continuing to deliver high-quality care.

Chris also shares his vision for the future of data-driven care. He discusses how real-time location services and wearable technology are creating new opportunities to demonstrate resident engagement, measure staff interactions and provide families with greater transparency about the care their loved ones receive.

Looking back on the implementation, Chris says the greatest lesson wasn't simply choosing the right technology, but choosing the right partner. He explains why shared values, trust and a genuine commitment to improving resident outcomes have been just as important as the technology itself.
