The Future and Medivitals
Medivitals was established in January 2020 with a vision to progress the development of a bio-marker monitoring and AI based clinical decision support platform with high sensitivity and specificity for early detection of diseases. Drawing on a strong background in digital health, telemedicine and health informatics, the company has moved into the early stages of development with a focus on using the latest technology to innovate the future of Virtual Healthcare.
Through its Chief Innovation Officer, Medivitals boasts considerable experience in developing and deploying medical diagnostic devices from bench to bedside with history of a patent portfolio of over 35 patents. One of these devices, EyeScan, for diagnosing anterior segment and retinal diseases, is used by NASA at the International Space Station and many eye clinics in USA and Europe.
Our CEO was the Minister for Health’s nominee on the Western Australian “Sustainable Health Review” which reviewed the next $120bn spend in State funding and recommended significant investment into Care in the Community, digital health, new patient experience and smarter use of data. This allowed Medivitals to position itself in the key role to elevate the importance of digital health in transforming health services.
The Medivitals solution will focus on significant opportunities in hospitals, emergency clinics, aged care facilities, remote and rural areas, mining sites and quarantine hotels/homes.
