[ FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ]
Build on what the state already owns.
Phycera adds high-value applications on top of the digital health systems government has already funded, with public data working for the public good.
[ 01 / RETURN ON INVESTMENT ]
Add to the system. Don’t replace it.
Building an electronic medical record is a major public investment.
Phycera shows that a public health network can add complementary applications on top of its existing EMR, rather than throwing out systems or paying for costly upgrades. The value of the original investment grows, instead of starting again.
[ 02 / PUBLIC DATA ]
Public data working for the public good.
Phycera is built to protect the public interest, with data that stays inside the health network.
Data location
Patient data stays inside the health service’s own secure network.
Access
Phycera reads from the EMR and never writes back to it.
Partnership
Developed with the network and a self-funded medical research charity.
[ 03 / PROVEN IN PRACTICE ]
Proven inside the public system.
CALHN serves roughly 40% of South Australia’s public patients. Phycera was developed and tested there.
Since 2022
In daily use
CCIS has supported CALHN’s two intensive care units every day since 2022.
2026
Published
The implementation is documented in a peer-reviewed report in JMIR Medical Informatics.
2026
Endorsed
Endorsed by Digital Health SA’s Technical Design Review Committee.
[ 04 / SOUTH AUSTRALIA ]
From consumer to creator.
A health technology platform developed and validated in South Australia builds local capability, instead of relying only on overseas software.
01
Local capability
Designing and validating a platform locally moves the state from buyer to creator of health technology.
02
Talent and investment
A place where clinical software can pass strict public-sector governance attracts engineering, research and commercial partners.
03
Ideas that can travel
What works inside South Australia’s public system may be able to help other health services over time.
