Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the team!

As we look back on 2025, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to care for our community. This year alone, we’ve had the privilege of supporting nearly 1,000 local residents with mobile medical imaging and infusion services right at their bedside.

Thank you to the wonderful facility staff, nurses, and families we work with every day. Your dedication to caring for our elders is inspiring.

We wish you all a safe, healthy, and joyful festive season. We’re here when you need us.

From Call to Diagnosis in 3 Hours: How Mobile Imaging Transforms Aged Care

Last week, we received a call at 11 AM from a nurse at a Brisbane aged care facility. A resident was in severe pain - significant bruising on his right arm, unable to move it. She needed answers. Fast.

Here's what happened:

Within 1 hour - our ultrasound technician was on site
Within 2 hours - X-ray technician arrived (the GP requested additional imaging during the ultrasound)
Within 4 hours - full diagnostic report delivered to the GP and RACF.

The findings: fractured elbow, hematoma, complex shoulder collection, no DVT.

The GP had everything needed to make immediate clinical decisions. Treatment started the same day.

Without mobile imaging? This resident would have faced:
• Hours waiting for an ambulance
• Hours in ED triage
• Hours waiting for imaging slots
• A 24+ hour ordeal, minimum

Instead, he stayed in his room. His friend stayed by his side. He received answers in hours, not days.

This is what's possible when aged care teams know mobile imaging is available - and when they make that call instead of defaulting to hospital transfer.

To every nurse, carer, and clinical coordinator in aged care: you have more power to change outcomes than you realise.

"Everything is coming to him. And I can be here to look after him."

Those words from a resident's friend stay with me.

Her friend had a suspected fracture - significant pain, couldn't move his arm. The traditional pathway would have meant:

• Hours waiting for an ambulance
• More hours in ED triage
• An unfamiliar, chaotic environment
• A 24+ hour ordeal minimum

Instead, we brought the X-ray and ultrasound to him on the same day. In his room. With his friend holding his hand.

Fracture confirmed. DVT ruled out. Treatment started immediately.

This isn't about convenience. It's about understanding what hospital transfers actually cost our most vulnerable patients:

• 38% develop delirium
• 5.4× increased dementia risk with delirium
• 30% experience lasting functional decline

Every transfer decision deserves this question: Is the hospital the only option?

Often, it isn't.

Up to 38% of aged care residents develop delirium during hospital admission.

That's not a typo. It's a systematic review finding that should change how we think about transfer decisions.

When a resident is sent to hospital for an X-ray to rule out a fracture, there is a careful balance to be walked. Research tells a worrisome story:

• 38% develop delirium in hospital
• 19% develop pressure ulcers
• Up to 34% die during admission
• 36% still have delirium symptoms at discharge

For residents with dementia, delirium increases mortality risk by 5.4 times.

The question isn't whether hospital care is good - it's whether every transfer is necessary.

Modia Health offers an alternative: fast and easy X-rays and ultrasounds delivered at the bedside, keeping residents in familiar environments with trusted staff.

For aged care residents using mobility aids like the Sara Stedy, travelling to a clinic for an X-ray or ultrasound can be stressful and risky, and ambulance transfers are often not the best solution.

In fact, many clinics won’t accept bookings for these high-needs patients. This often leaves families and facilities with no option but to arrange ambulance transfers to hospital. Even then, care can be challenging. Hospital environments are unfamiliar, staff may be unaware of a resident’s mobility limitations, and transferring onto hospital beds can be difficult and unsafe.

Did you know that at Modia Health, when we perform checks like looking for blood clots (DVT scans), it’s actually better for you to be sitting down?

That’s right. Our friendly sonographers are experts at making your scan easy, comfortable, and stress-free. There’s no need to walk through hospital halls or move around unnecessarily. We can use your own chair or adjust your bed so you can relax right where you are.

And remember… the scan comes to you.

We bring portable medical-grade equipment that adapts to your position, allowing us to complete your scan efficiently while keeping you comfortable, safe, and dignified throughout.

At Modia Health, we believe technology should work for you, not the other way around.

When an aged care resident needs a scan, it often requires family members to take half a day off work, fight traffic, and sit in hospital waiting rooms.

The disorientating experience for you and your loved one can lead to anxiety, medical complications and unneeded stress.

Modia Health strives to deliver on comfortable and stress-free health scans for aged care residents, so that you can spend time with your loved one, not waiting in a clinic.

Reach out to us if our services can help someone you love.

🌺 Remembrance Day 🌺

Today, we pause to remember the bravery, service, and sacrifice of all who have served, and the families who stood beside them.

Many of the veterans we meet in aged care have lived remarkable lives filled with courage, duty, and quiet resilience. Yet, too often, they spend their later years feeling isolated or unseen. Their stories remind us that the freedoms we enjoy today were earned through their strength and sacrifice.

At Modia Health, it is our privilege to serve them in return, to make access to medical imaging easier, more comfortable, and closer to home. We honour their legacy not only with words, but through our work: bringing care, dignity, and connection to those who once served our nation.

For those wishing to learn more about Australia’s veterans, their stories, and ways to commemorate, visit the Anzac Portal (https://anzacportal.dva.gov.au/) - a wonderful resource sharing Australia’s military and service history.

Lest we forget. ❤️
