InteliCare’s Recommendations for the Royal commission are outlined below;
-That the Medicare scheme be amended to permit Doctors to prescribe intelligent assistive technology and to permit Hospitals to discharge aged patients with intelligent assistive monitoring technology.
-That the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare scheme be amended to permit Doctors to prescribe intelligent assistive technology and to permit hospitals to discharge aged patients with intelligent assistive monitoring technology.
-That the Federal Government undertake a public communications campaign to ensure Doctors and aged Australian’s are aware that intelligent assistive monitoring technology systems can be prescribed and that they permit aged Australians to remain in their homes longer.

These recommendations can unlock a range of assistive initiatives through technology which will help keep the aged in their homes longer if that is their choice, prevent unnecessary hospitalisation and address questions around connectedness and loneliness.
