Modern Care for All
With the pace of technology as fast as ever, there’s no reason that the care industry shouldn’t keep up with the innovations that have transformed every other aspect of our lives. But it isn’t enough to give someone the latest gadget and wish them well. The product and service have to be personalised and tailored to the individual needs of the person.
Tunstall Healthcare provides individualised care through our assistive technology and Connected Care services, offering products and services, through a range of government funding programs or directly, to support the safety, independence and confidence of our clients.
Assistive and monitoring technology supports people within their homes or on the go, connecting them directly to help and support services. This technology is giving senior Australians their independence back.
Supporting independent living
At Tunstall we help a range of people, from NDIS participants to care providers. Our mission is to provide people with solutions that enable them to live their life on their own terms. We want our clients to feel safe and supported while also remaining as independent as possible.
As our population continues to age, that brings with it increasing health issues. Through technology, we’re now in a position to deliver personal support wherever people are located. In line with this, of course, is the issue of information privacy and security. We have to ensure that alongside the benefits of Connected Healthcare, we are still respecting the need for privacy and maintaining stringent information security practices.
Our plan for the future
Connected Healthcare solutions are currently empowering thousands of Tunstall clients to live safe, independent lives by knowing help is just the press of a button away. We can respond to alerts using intelligent sensors that actively communicate with clients and their circle of carers. Our services include not only the provisioning of these essential 24/7 Monitoring Centres, but also full scale patient management services with support from our team of Registered Nurses. To expand beyond this, into a truly predictive and personalised solution, Cognitive Care™ is our vision for an integrated health and care system that will make a robust and scalable health and social care model possible. Making healthcare more accessible, efficient, and sustainable through digitally-enabled solutions is a key component of Tunstall’s mission.
Cognitive Care™ is an intelligent solution that collects and analyses data from different sources – from sensors to smart watches, through to systems that capture health metrics and integrate with thirdparty databases and electronic health records – and then uses advanced AI to generate alerts if it detects an end user’s condition has signs it may worsen.
This holistic approach to data management and analysis will allow caregivers and health professionals to form a detailed picture of end users’ wellbeing, including changes, risk factors and other previously unseen trends, which will all lead to more informed decision-making.
Cognitive Care™ will enable providers to deliver accessible, value-based health and social care. Tunstall’s customers will be able to use data-driven insights to personalise high-quality care programmes and effectively allocate resources, making sure those in need have the right levels of support.
