Australian Unity is the second to pilot The INS Group’s new TeleHealth service at their Peninsula Grange Village in Mornington VIC

Australian Unity’s Peninsula Grange Village in Mornington, Victoria, is the second village to trial The INS Group’s new TeleHealth system, installed in their Community Centre on Wednesday, 29th May 2013. The team from INS then tested the system and educated village staff members on its use.

The INS Group first launched their unique, patented TeleHealth system known as the LifeGuard SmartKiosk in May, with the first installation in New South Wales.

The LifeGuard SmartKiosk is designed to assist with monitoring the health of individuals, particularly those with medical conditions such as diabetes, COPD, chronic heart failure or unstable blood pressure, in a group setting.

Claude Rafin, Managing Director of The INS Group, demonstrates the LifeGuard SmartKiosk for Megan Skwierawski and Karen Burrows of Peninsula Grange Village and explains the technology behind it.

There is also a home version called the LifeGuard SmartHome, suitable for private homes and independent living units. Either unit provides an integrated remote monitoring system to enable enhanced living and improve the quality of life for those who are older or who have a disability.

INS is grateful for the financial assistance towards the pilots received from the Illawarra Region Innovation and Investment Fund – a joint initiative from AusIndustry, NSW Trade and Investment, and Blue Scope Steel.
