Gold Coast Health is set to implement the Miya Precision platform across its three hospitals and community health network following a deal signed with technology solutions provider Alcidion.
The agreement will see Alcidion deliver an end-to-end remote patient monitoring solution, aimed at enabling Gold Coast Health (GCH) to extend virtual care into patients’ homes.
The initiative is designed to support patients who can be safely monitored outside the hospital, with the goal of reducing unnecessary admissions and freeing up capacity for those who need it most.
Miya Precision would integrate with GCH’s existing electronic medical record system to provide clinicians with real-time access to patient data captured through remote monitoring devices.
Built to scale, the platform is capable of growing alongside GCH’s needs and connecting with existing and future systems as they evolve.
The solution supports a range of devices, including third-party options and patients’ own devices, capturing vital signs and biometric data that feed directly into clinical workflows.
Beyond data collection, the platform also provides clinical decision support and configurable care pathways, enabling clinicians to spot early warning signs before they escalate to empower patients to take an active role in managing their health from the comfort of home.
Initial applications were expected to focus on areas such as post-acute care and chronic condition management, where remote monitoring can have the greatest impact.
GCH executive director of digital and innovation Dom Girolamo said that with demand for healthcare services continuing to rise, GCH’s health service had been at the forefront of exploring virtual care models – recognising that the future of healthcare “isn’t just about building more beds, but about delivering care in smarter, more flexible ways.”
Virtual care approaches that gained traction during the COVID pandemic were now maturing into “core components” of how health services operated and Gold Coast Health was seeking to build them into its long-term care model.
“Digital‑enabled virtual care is a core enabler of the next generation of person‑centred models under development,” Mr Girolamo said.
“The ongoing enhancement of traditional hospital-based services into the home and community, is supporting a broader transformation of care delivery – creating a smarter, more flexible and digitally connected health service for the future.”
Mr Girolamo said this approach aligned with GCH’s “Always Care” philosophy, “which places person-centred care at the heart of everything it does.”
Alcidion CEO Kate Quirke said remote patient monitoring was transforming the way health services think about capacity.
“It’s no longer just about hospital beds, but about meeting patients where they are. We’re proud to partner with Gold Coast Health on this initiative, which reflects a growing momentum across the sector toward virtual care models that are better for patients and more sustainable for health systems,” Ms Quirke said.
“With Miya Precision, we’re giving clinicians the visibility they need to intervene early and keep patients safely on track – turning data from the home into real-time, actionable insights at the point of care.”
