“ We have the technology to have virtual consultations with patients at home and patients with implanted cardiac devices can share information with our cardiologists at the hospital . We also have patients who require ECG information that are visited at home by nurses or general practitioners .
“ The fact that a person can have a CT scan up in the mountains where we have few radiologists and the CT scan is read by a radiologist who is a 100km away is a major breakthrough because it means that the person gets the same quality healthcare as everyone else without having to travel to the hospital .”
