Stuart tells me that you're walking a lot better?
[Stuart Snowden]
Yes, that's right. The hallucinations have been reduced, and I can now get up and walk a short distance by myself.
[Speaker 1]
Look at you. Yay. That's great. What did you think of that?
[Speaker 3]
Excellent.
[Speaker 1]
Pretty good, yep?
[Dr. Samuel Boli]
Telehealth has been great with respect to giving access to high-level movement disorders therapies for patients in regional areas.
One of the good things, Gregg, is that you are out and about and people who are out and about and forget to take their medicines because they're too busy doing other things, well, that's a very good thing.
[Gregg Faulkner]
Things are progressing quite well. I'm certainly experiencing slightly more up and down in the last few months.
Dr. Samuel Boli...: Okay. [inaudible 00:01:20] hands, turning the them around like that for me, as fast as you can.
[Gregg Faulkner]
It's highly efficient time wise.
[Speaker 1]
Yep.
[Gregg Faulkner]
And comfortable for the patient.
[Clare McCluskey]
Telehealth enables intensive speech pathology therapies to be delivered even on the phone.
[Pam Rigg]
In the mornings, I'm not too bad. I can't play golf the way I should play golf until probably halfway through the 18 holes.
[Dr. Samuel Boli]
And where would you find that you're moving more freely and your golf is improving?
[Pam Rigg]
Probably...
[John Rigg]
11:30.
[Pam Rigg]
About 11:30.
[Speaker 3]
If you were able to improve that morning's [inaudible 00:02:04] period, what would that mean to you?
[Pam Rigg]
It would mean the world to me.
[John Rigg]
The real benefit of telehealth is that I don't have to drive to Sydney to take my wife down, and I'm too old for that sort of thing.
[Malid Shahi]
Impact of telehealth is that patients are traveling much less and getting better, more specialized support close to home.
