Opto Health UK is a perfect partner for CareZen, saidMargot Morton, Co-Founder & Director of CareZen. We know only 16% of Australians have adopted to commence their care virtually from home, the rest of us leave home to find a doctor when we are unwell. The Opto advanced triage technology will significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of identifying the appropriate patient to commence their care virtually. We appreciate the challenges in healthcare are global, with aging populations and the rise in low acuity patients presenting to our UCC's & Emergency Departments, now patients will be able to self-triage and be offered the opportunity to commence their care with virtual consultation from their nearest CareZen Virtual Care pod.
