Northern Health, a healthcare provider in Australia, has selected Datos Health’s Open Care platform to enhance remote patient monitoring capabilities.  

Under this collaboration, the two companies will build ‘innovative’ digital care models, aiming to improve health outcomes through remote patient monitoring. 

The Open Care platform will be integrated into Northern Health's various virtual care programmes, including cardiac rehabilitation, lung cancer, back pain, gestational diabetes programme, and severe asthma management.  

Besides, Datos Health will take support from its Australian-based partner IKAO Health to use its experience in implementing localised solutions to address a range of issues faced by the healthcare providers. 

IKAO Health’s expertise in localised solutions will help Datos Health provide on-the-ground support and service to Northern Health.  

Datos Health said its Open Care platform offers a flexible solution for hybrid care delivery, allowing healthcare organisations such as Northern Health to tailor remote care protocols.  

This adaptability ensures that care is delivered effectively, aligning with the healthcare provider's specific approach, stated the vendor. 

In addition, the deployment of this solution will allow clinicians to easily adjust the workflows as per their requirements, as the changes will immediately be translated into patient CareApps, which can provide automated assisted self-care. 

Datos Health founder and CEO Uri Bettesh said: “Together with our local partner, IKAO Health, we've developed an excellent grasp of the intricacies of the Australian healthcare system.  

“Our partnership with Northern Health is an excellent next step on our road to increasing access to care for Australia's highly diverse patient population, and our continuing expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.” 

Northern Health offers mental health, specialist, maternity, acute, sub-acute, community and home-based services at five main campuses.

Northern Health chief health outcomes officer and Respiratory Medicine director Dr Katharine See said: “With Datos Health, we're enabling our healthcare professionals to offer exceptional virtual care options, that are not dependent on patients being in hospital.”
