Digital health technology can assist you, as a healthcare user, to be informed and empowered to participate in your own health journey and healthcare. For example, telehealth services can reduce physical, distance, and time barriers by enabling remote consultations. Utilising My Health Record can provide you with access to your health history at a glance. Additionally, wearable devices and online applications can help you monitor your symptoms or vital signs, upload information for your health practitioner to assess, and make healthy life choices related to diet, activity, and sleep.
Better use of technology can help improve the healthcare system for providers and help people live healthier lives, with greater control and better access to their information.
