Updates to Bulk Billing Consent Form
The Bulk Billing Consent form in the Virtual Forms application will be updated to include an option for Patient URN and the ability to select whether the person giving consent is the patient or an authorised representative.

Sound application
In collaboration with SA Health, we will soon be introducing a Video Call Sound application, for use in specialties including speech therapy and other clinical use cases. This application provides clinical information about a person's vocal volume and pitch and can be used as an assessment or feedback tool. Example screenshots are shown in the overview below:
| Once the application is launched, you can select to either Speak or Listen. | ![]() |
| Once Speak or Listen is selected, select the required participant and the required microphone. Both the patient or clinician can select the required microphone. |
|
| Once selected, the application starts to measure the volume and pitch of the speaker's voice, shows the data live in a dial and graphs. |
