Australian telehealth software vendor Coviu has added new functionality to its virtual care platform, deciding to expand its offering to enhance telephone-based telehealth, which is the dominant modality in general practice in Australia and New Zealand.

Coviu’s new unified telehealth platform for synchronous consultations includes video, phone, text and group consultations, enabling group therapies and multi-disciplinary team meetings that standard video conferencing applications have so far only provided limited functionalities.
