A product which helps elderly people keep in contact with family and care givers, is going down well in Australia for Kildare company HealthComms.

Last week, the company signed a contract with a not-for-profit organisation in Melbourne which brings the number of users of its MyHomeReach software in Australia to 500. Company co-founder and CEO, Tom Byrne aims to increase this to 50,000 over the next two years.
