It uses telemedicine and digital technologies to enable patients to participate in clinical trials without needing to travel long distances to major metropolitan centres, which can often be a barrier to participation for those in rural and isolated locations.

Australian Healthcare Week 2019: Pitch Fest Finalist Coviu

By Australian Health Journal — 6 years ago

Telelheath startup company Coviu was a Pitch Fest Finalist at last week’s Australian Healthcare Week Expo in Sydney. The Coviu platform has been developed as an spinoff from CSIRO and allows healthcare businesses offer video consultations to their own patients. It differs from being just a ‘talking head’ platform that Skype or Zoom could offer, by providing clinical tools integrated within the app. Anne Dao spoke with Co-founder and CEO Silvia Pfeiffer about the company and platform’s journey to date and its longer term goals.

Coviu helps healtcare businesses by helping fit in more consultation during that day and reducing no-shows for appointments.

The company is focused on the Australian market and aims to enter the US market next year
