Queensland-based eHealth start-up NetHealth is running a pilot program of its real-time monitoring platform integrated into leading GP desktop software MedicalDirector, allowing doctors to have a real-time view of trending vital signs from patients at home.

The Net-HealthData platform is currently being used for the management of diabetes and hypertension, although there are wider clinical applications. Patients take their blood glucose or blood pressure readings using Bluetooth and wireless-enabled devices, with the data sent directly to their GP's clinical system.
