GP says tele-exam a ‘first’ in general practice
Canberra GP Dr Paresh Dawda is using a device to examine aged care residents remotely

ACT GP Dr Paresh Dawda has been using the technology on residents at Goodwin Aged Care Services in a pilot, and says it takes telehealth to the ‘tele-examination’ level.
