Waikato District Health Board, the NZ Telehealth Forum and Spark are holding an after five event at WINTEC on March 21 to demonstrated the region's virtual health care capabilities.

Waikato DHB has pioneered the integration of virtual technologies with acute care provision in New Zealand, launching a virtual DHB initiative, later renamed SmartHealth, in association with US telehealth platform HealthTap and with the support of Spark, in May last year.
