Our StoryIn 2015 Barry Nguyen (a serial technology entrepreneur and physiotherapist) and Dr Khurram Akhter (a health technology enthusiast and family physician) started work together in a GP surgery in Melbourne, Australia.
Conversations over the coffee machine about how to best help patients developed into deep discussions of how we can really make a difference to people’s lives. Both had noticed that healthcare was changing. Patients used the internet to learn about their problems. Dr Google was becoming the first port of call for anyone with a health worry, to learn about or to treat their problem. Wearable technology was being used by more people to monitor their health. Online services were being developed that gave access to health professionals. Technology was starting to affect the way people looked after their health. A health technology revolution is taking place. |
What We CreatedOver the past couple of years, we have spent thousands of hours searching for the latest technology enabled products and services that can help you manage your health. These revolutionary solutions range from weight loss and fitness to the management of common chronic medical conditions. We discovered that even for well trained health professionals like us, searching for safe and effective solutions for specific health needs was not an easy task, and often raised more questions than answers.
It was from this that HealthAide was born. We created a site where we organise an ever growing range of technology enabled health solutions, so that you can search what is available according to what you want to achieve, all in one place. |
Our GoalThe future of healthcare is becoming more patient centric and data driven.
You will have the tools to allow your doctor to examine you remotely wherever you may be. Your wearable activity tracker will become an essential tool for your doctor to monitor your health. If a problem starts to develop, you will know quickly so you can act before it is too late. This is not science fiction, but is very close to reality. We are committed to be at the cutting edge of this reality, in order to deliver a reliable resource of health technology information. Our Pledge To You In our search to do the best for our patients, we have created HealthAide and we would like you to join us along the journey as technology completely changes healthcare. Just like you should know when a life-changing revolutionary drug becomes available, you should also know when revolutionary health technologies become available. Let us be your guide in the rapidly changing landscape of health technology. |
