Here to stay? Older Australians embrace telehealth and are willing to use it post COVID-19
There are many things that older Australians would like to see return to “normal” post-COVID, but there is one change they are very keen to keep – telehealth - according to new research undertaken by the Global Centre for Modern Ageing (GCMA).
Telehealth, whether accessed by phone or online, has worked well for older Australians, with more than 60 per cent of people aged over 60 surveyed nationally saying they were willing to use telehealth in the future.
