In-home health and aged care provider Silver Chain is trialling a prototype of Microsoft's HoloLens mixed reality headset to provide healthcare in the home for clients in remote regions of WA.

The HoloLens is a holoportation device that allows Silver Chain nurses to provide care to patients at home, see their care plan and document their care at the same time. The device is also being worn by patients, who can have a virtual face to face with their holographic doctor.
