Verdant Health is pleased to officially launch the Mobile Weight Management Mentor. The Mobile Weight Management Mentor is a collaborative commercial research partnership with CSIRO’s Tasmanian ICT Centre. This innovative telehealth system will assist individuals in the management of their weight with health professionals such as community pharmacy. The system is based upon the use of mobile phone technologies and sophisticated data management systems.

Verdant Health has been invited to join CSIRO at their CeBIT stand in Sydney.
