“This page contains various standards and guidelines relevant to the application of digital health to rural and remote communities and to support our Fellows. A good standard is sometimes one you don't know exists, think the telecommunication standards that allow all mobile phones to communicate with each other. Then there are standards that serve as important pointers to what should be expected in a given circumstance - think seat belts in cars. ACRRM is highly active in the digital health space and leads the way in ensuring that developed standards take into account our context and the needs of our communities.”
