Australia does not have ubiquitous access to one backbone of Internet , so Internet access can be relatively poor in less populated areas . The organisation is always looking for technology that can provide a more stable environment through which people can access consultations .
Moving forward , Anywhere Healthcare is looking to provide patients with access to general practitioners and allied health practitioners for consultations . These services will be offered at a 100 percent out-of-pocket fee , as there is currently no funding for an individual to talk to a general practitioner or allied health practitioner online . This service focuses specifically on convenience and accessibility for patients in rural and regional areas .
Anywhere Healthcare intends to use apps to provide additional and improved services to interested patients . Instead of making an appointment to see a specialist online , patients will be able to take a picture of their wound or skin lesion and , using an app , be able to collect the information required by a specialist to make a remote diagnosis . The process would include capturing the relevant information , sending it to Anywhere Healthcare and having an appropriate specialist review
