We live in a digital world where people are time poor, so a digital health service makes sense.
If you can receive health advice easier and faster than usual, why wouldn't you use it?
New Zealand's biggest private childcare chain BestStart Educare, which runs 280 centres from Kaitaia to Invercargill, has signed up to Dr Lance O'Sullivan's digital health service iMOKO.
Through technology iMOKO delivers high-quality basic health services, helps to make a prompt diagnosis and offers treatment options and once approved by a telehealth clinician, prescriptions are sent off to the appropriate avenue.
Dr O'Sullivan - a former Rotorua GP and Kiwibank's New Zealander of the Year in 2014 - started offering medical diagnoses and prescriptions to children at remote Northland schools by video link and email from his Kaitaia general practice in 2012.
