Visionflex, an Australian company https://visionflex.com, provides telehealth equipment to the remote village of Wanaaring with around 140 people. Visionflex CEO Mike Harman traveled a long distance to Wanaaring to install the company’s ProEX Telehealth Hub equipment into a specially designed lockable workstation. This enabled a local nurse to connect residents in Wanaaring via satellite to a general practitioner or specialist for a remote consultation.
According to Mike Harman, the VF-Cabinet was designed in partnership with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, a comprehensive aeromedical organization providing emergency and primary healthcare services to people in rural, remote, and regional areas of Australia.
The ProEX supports a comprehensive range of interchangeable accessories including an endoscopic camera, LED light sources, and the GEIS general exam camera. The Pro EX Mobile, a ruggedized TH hub with a portable dual battery can deliver the next generation remote medical care even in extremely remote areas such as Antarctica.
