Promoting health technology since 2012
Wikihospitals is run by two health professionals with a deep interest in technology and innovation.
We understand the needs of those working in the industry, the problems patients often encounter, and struggle that Health Startups face gaining acceptance by Governments and Health Insurers.
Solving Problems
Everything you need to know about what’s available and what can help your business
Avoiding Errors
What really goes wrong, why and how it can be avoided.
Saving Money
Essential for both patients and health professionals. Work smarter, cut waste, use smart technology
An international database of innovative health services
A joint project is underway, involving health professionals, Swinburne University, Australian entrepreneurs and technology experts. An example of Aged Care services are displayed below.
Health Technology Made Accessible
No more ‘wonderful ideas’ being duplicated across the country because people simply don’t know what others are doing. No more missing out on new ideas being developed in other countries because information is not shared across borders.
Problems are international. So are solutions.
Health Technology Made Relevant
Forget having thousands of new tech services (the majority of them irrelevant to your needs), dumped on you, then put up with being told it’s your fault, that you don’t understand their relevance.
Knowledge about health technology is essential. But in a way that is understandable.
