Regional and rural Australia is facing a significant shortfall in specialist clinical care with aged care residents waiting weeks for treatment for wounds or facing a risky stay in hospital – if a bed is even available.

Now new telehealth solutions are helping to fill the ‘care gap’. Uniting NSW.ACT is leading the way in how wounds are treated in residential aged care with unique Augmented Reality (AR) Smart Glasses that are saving lives and thousands of dollars.

The Not For Profit’s clinical care team has reduced the diagnosis and treatment of wounds from weeks to hours by utilising the telehealth solution.
