Telstra Health s virtual health solutions have been deployed in hotel quarantine sites in Tasmania to remotely monitor the conditions of international travellers under mandatory quarantine.
During their 14-day stay, guests are asked to conduct daily checks of their temperature, pulse and oxygen saturation, as well as blood pressure, weight, and glucose levels if required.
Their data are then uploaded via Bluetooth to the Telstra Health MyCareManager application which stores them in a hosted monitoring platform. To avoid complications with technical support requirements, the Tasmanian government hands out pre-paired mobile devices to the quarantined travellers.
