Six healthcare technology companies have been included in the Australian Securities Exchange's new All Technology Index, which has been designed in association with S&P Dow Jones Indices to follow the performance of the region's expanding technology industry.

The All Tech Index, which launched on Monday, has been designed to be a broader index than the existing S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index by including companies in other innovative technology-related sub-industries such as consumer electronics, internet and direct marketing retail and healthcare technology.
