Digital Health and Telehealth are hot technologies during these pandemic times.

HealthEngine operates Australia's largest online health marketplace and is a leader in these technologies.

But its business model has hit legal obstacles in recent years.

The first is patient testimonials, which HealthEngine doctored to make more favourable to its participating practices.

The second is passing on private patient information to health insurance brokers in return for a referral fee.

These practices have ceased, but a $2.9 million fine ordered by the Federal Court of Australia is causing pain.
