Australian aged and community care provider Feros Care has formed a 50-50 joint venture with New Zealand charitable trust the Selwyn Foundation to offer a new model of technology-enabled community-based care to older people and those living with chronic illnesses to allow them to remain at home for longer.
Called Inviga, the new company was formed following a successful six-month telehealth trial the two organisations ran in 2015, in which 20 clients were set up with Feros Care's My Health Clinic at Home package, which involves a touch-screen computer and diagnosis-specific monitoring equipment.
