Cork firm wins Australia patient tech contract

A Cork-based company has won a contract to provide nearly 100,000 patients in Australia and New Zealand with bedside interactive education, communication and entertainment technology.

Lincor Solutions has secured an exclusive distribution agreement with Hills Health Solutions to deploy Lincor’s next-generation interactive technology in hospitals and nursing homes. The technology will be used to help transform the patient experience by bringing learning and entertainment directly to the bedside. Patients will have access to these services via a touch-screen monitor.

In addition, doctors will be able to view and update medical records, order and verify medication and review a patient’s latest scans and test results right at their bedside because their notes are also inputted on the touch-screen monitor.
