Embracing Technology For At-Home Recovery At Shellharbour Private Hospital
The Allied Health team at Shellharbour Private Hospital continue to be impressed by the number of patients embracing technology to assist in their recovery.
The team have recently implemented ‘Physitrack’, an application which allows for patients to undertake guided exercises at home. Patients can view their individualised program from their phone or computer, and can follow along with the detailed exercise videos and instructions. It encourages patients to stay on track with their exercises, through scheduled reminders, and options to communicate with the Allied Health team from home.
Allied Health Manager, Louise Turner, can see considerable value in Physitrack, "It gives patients the ability toreview videos, providing them with instant feedback to make sure they are doing everything correctly."
The Allied Health team can update a patients program at any time and can monitor their compliance at home. Adhering to recommended at home exercise programs has a direct correlation to a patient’s ongoing progress in recovery. Upwards of 50% of the patients are now using the app, which is a great result considering many of the patients have never used anything like it before.

Sharing An Important Health Message At Hurstville Private Hospital
In a new strategy to build awareness around Bowel Cancer, Hurstville Private Hospital has engaged their staff to come forward and highlight their own stories about how they have personally been affected by Bowel Cancer. The approach sparked a massive response, with over 40 staff submissions received.
'You're never too young to be affected by Bowel Cancer” says Lloyd Adams, CEO of Hurstville Private."People commonly think that Bowel Cancer only affects people over the age of 50. With Colorectal procedures making up approximately 26% of all surgeries performed at Hurstville, we know that’s just not the case. People who participate in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program are almost twice as likely to have their cancer detected at the earliest stage, when it is most treatable. For many people, by the time they experience symptoms of bowel cancer, the cancer has already spread to areas outside the bowel, whensurvival rates drop to 72%.”
This new approach allow us to deliver important health messages directly to people in a really engaging and personal way,” Mr Adams said.
The stories will be displayed on the hospital's website and social media platforms along with cancer prevention and screening tools posted throughout the month of June, which is recognised as Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
