                    The Royal Melbourne Hospital - Dr Martin Dutch

                    Extraordinary times call for exceptional responses. When COVID-19 hit, emergency physician Dr Martin Dutch devised a software solution to transform the way patients are screened, triaged, monitored and treated.

                    ​The platform enables electronic self-registration and monitors patients in their homes, with vital signs sent to the hospital via smartphone. Dr Dutch’s work has reduced strain on the health system and saved lives. 

                    This virtual monitoring system has given patients peace of mind and allowed staff to feel confident they could treat a patient before their condition deteriorated. 

                    The software has also been provided to all health services at no cost, to ensure maximum benefit to the community.
