McLean Care iAgeHealth virtual clinical hub

The iAgeHealth remote workforce solution provides real-time clinical services to resource-challenged aged care facilities in regional, rural and remote aged care.

Developed by McLean Care with input from specialists at Deakin University, the technology is designed to remove geographical barriers and offers facilities increased access to qualified clinicians, 24 hours, seven days a week.

The solution uses a ‘virtual’ hub of specialist clinicians based anywhere in Australia and includes 24/7 access to registered nurses and 7-day access to a multidisciplinary allied health team led by a nurse practitioner, including physiotherapists, dieticians and other allied health professionals working collaboratively with registered nurses. The service enables virtual in-room clinical, allied health specialties and diagnostic capabilities, and also offers clinical specialisations such as wound care, diabetes management, chronic health management and more.

iAgeHealth provides a full end-to-end diagnostic, treatment and care management process that is informed by a range of integrated clinical IoT devices. The time for consultation will be allocated based on urgency of care required but often residents will be seen in less than an hour from the initial request. Clinicians can assess the resident in real time and develop clinical treatment plans tailored to the individual resident’s needs.

The solution has been designed by experienced industry leaders for the industry, working in support of existing teams with TGA approved plugins to deliver seamless continuity of care and optimal health outcomes for clients.
