In the ensuing 17 years, Healthpoint has steadily evolved into New Zealand's national health service directory: "Over time we've built really important relationships and trust around our health tech platforms and software," says Rhind. A significant opportunity for Healthpoint is its communication platform Medinz, which delivers crucial, timely updates to health providers – information they need to know to treat their patients. It was the communications tool of choice for Auckland and Northern DHBs, the Northern Region Health Control Centre and Regional Public Health. With all eyes on New Zealand's Covid-19 response, Medinz has caught the attention of Australian healthcare providers. Last month Datamine launched an Elarm trial with the Ministry of Health for early detection of Covid-19 in New Zealand border workers.
