Aged care services
Health Technology Made Accessible
Doctors don’t need to wade through hundreds of technology websites looking for services in their specialty. Patients don’t need to go through treatments and rehab unaware of better, cheaper products already on the market. Startup founders don’t need to waste time and resources duplicating similar services because they don’t know what other products are being developed.
Problems are international. So are solutions.
Health Technology Made Accessible
Join us as we collect thousands of unique, bespoke and accurate health services, catalogue, rate and review them, then deliver them to you in an online database.
Knowledge is power.
Medical records can be outdated
Many hospitals are still using DOS. Paper drug charts are still commonplace. But duplication and errors can easily be avoided.
Health costs are rising
As populations age, government health services are being stretched. The burden is being put back on families. Few are aware of cheaper ways to achieve better outcomes.
Great products struggle to reach their audience
From home Intensive Care Services to wearable diagnostic devices and algorithms to keep treatments more accurate. A new world of health technology is opening up. Join us in supporting these companies.
