Reliq Health goes live with Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) in Australia

Reliq Health, a technology company that develops innovative mobile health (mHealth) and telemedicine solutions for the community-based healthcare market, recently announced the go-live of its pilot with the Royal Flying Doctor Service Central Operations (RFDS) in Australia.

“We are very excited to be live in Australia with the RFDS,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health Technologies, Inc.  “Australia has a large remote and rural population, and patients with chronic conditions living in remote communities have a higher rate of hospitalizations and death than their urban counterparts.  We look forward to working with the RFDS to enhance access to care and improve health outcomes for remote and rural populations in Australia.”

The RFDS (www.flyingdoctor.org.au) is one of the largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organizations in the world, providing extensive primary health care and 24-hour emergency service to people over an area of 7.69 million square kilometres.  In 2017 over 336,000 patient encounters occurred through RFDS primary health clinics, aeromedical transports and telehealth consultations.  The challenges of health access outside Australia’s cities make the RFDS vital to those who live, work and travel in rural and remote Australia.
