SECTOR UPDATE - Alcidion

Alcidion has signed a contract with Gold Coast Health to implement its Miya Precision platform to support remote patient monitoring (RPM).

The agreement will see Alcidion deliver an end-to-end remote patient monitoring solution, enabling the health service to extend virtual care into patients' homes. The initiative is designed to support patients who can be safely monitored outside the hospital, reducing unnecessary admissions and freeing up capacity for those who need it most.

Gold Coast Health operates three hospitals and a network of community health facilities, serving one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions. With demand for healthcare services continuing to rise, the health service has 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 pandemic are now maturing into core components of how health services operate, and Gold Coast Health is building them into its long-term care model. It’s an approach that aligns with the health service’s “Always Care” philosophy, which places person-centred care at the heart of everything it does.

The Miya Precision platform will integrate with Gold Coast Health'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 can grow alongside Gold Coast Health's needs and connect 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 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 are expected to focus on areas such as post-acute care and chronic condition management, where remote monitoring can have the greatest impact.

Dom Girolamo, Executive Director of Digital and Innovation at Gold Coast Health, said: “Digital‑enabled virtual care is a core enabler of the next generation of person‑centred models under development. 

“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.”

Alcidion CEO Kate Quirke said: “Remote patient monitoring is 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.

“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.”
