Centre for e-Health

Centre for e-Health

The Centre for e-Health aims to further the use of telemedicine in Australia and Asia.

It is based at the Lions Eye Institute in Perth, Western Australia.

The Centre was launched in August 2005 by then-WA Premier Geoff Gallop. The WA Government contributed $2.25 million to the project.

Projects in the Centre include:
* Development of a portable digital imaging device that has teleophthalmology (retinal and anterior segment imaging), teledermatology, teleotolaryngology and teledentistry applications enabling remote diagnosis of disease and disorder.
* Online visual function testing of eye health.
* A stereo optic disc analyser, a software tool that analyses stereo images of the retina.

The Director of the Centre is Professor Kanagasingam Yogesan.
