Gippsland Primary Health Network is promoting a new positive pathway model of care for GPs to help them use existing technology to monitor low risk COVID+ patients at home.

Gippsland PHN has been supporting the LifeguardMobile platform from US firm Lifeguard Health Networks since last year, working with the Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) to roll out the technology, which includes a web portal and mobile app for health providers and a mobile app for patients that allows them to report their outcomes and vital signs.
