HAEi is excited to announce that its proprietary online, cloud-based, virtual center platform is now live!
According to HAEi Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Henrik Balle Boysen, “The Elizabeth Macarthur Virtual Angioedema Centre in Sydney, Australia is the first center to implement the HAEi Virtual Center technology, and we are working with other clinics interested in adopting the concept. Our virtual center solution connects people with chronic swelling disorders (who may live in remote areas or otherwise cannot travel) to expert angioedema physicians. In addition, we already envision many other ways that a virtual center can extend the reach of expert physicians.”
Ole Frolich, HAEi’s Chief Technology Officer says: “The platform includes a dedicated website per center, a sophisticated booking engine that allows setting an appointment with an angioedema specialist, a notification feature that reminds the guest and the physician about the agreed appointment, and a secure, peer-to-peer, video-based ‘consultation room’. The HAEi Virtual Center platform also has an advanced administration module that allows each center to plan their time allocated to virtual services.”
“We believe that virtual centers could also be used to broaden the reach of experts in Centers that are running clinical trials. Experienced investigators could oversee clinicians in other locations, conduct joint virtual visits with trial participants, and ensure that blood draws and other requirements are properly implemented,” says Anthony Castaldo, HAEi’s President & Chief Executive Officer.

Who is behind the Elizabeth Macarthur Virtual Angioedema Centre
The Elizabeth Macarthur Virtual Angioedema Centre is the virtual leg of the Campbelltown Hospital, Immunology & Allergy Unit Dept Medicine, Therry St, Campbelltown 2560 NSW, Australia under the leadership of Prof. Connie Katelaris.
The center honors the name of Elizabeth Macarthur – an indomitable woman who combined being the mother of eight children with farming and pioneering the wool industry in Australia. She embodied courage and endurance – attributes displayed by many of those who live with a genetic disorder. Elizabeth Macarthur also displayed vision and innovation – attributes shared with the research community that has resulted in major advances in the management of HAE.
