Understanding the optimum blend between telehealth and face to face consultations.
The Global Centre for Modern Ageing has completed the third phase of its study tracking older Australians’ response to Covid-19 restrictions, focusing on older Australians’ use of telehealth and face-to-face consultations.
Our findings about older Australians’ receptiveness to technology highlights that it is important to challenge stereotypes.
When evaluating tech-literacy and planning for digital inclusion, it is clear that age alone is not a useful predictor and ignoring older consumers’ insights in the development of tech products is a missed opportunity.
Globally, the World Health Organisation offers essential links and information regarding COVID-19. In Australia, the Australian Government website www.health.gov.au has the latest advice and resources to help you understand more about COVID-19, self-isolation and the supports available.
