Shal Medical Service Highlights Mobile Button for Holiday Safety
As the High Holidays approach, Shal, a medical service provider, is reminding its subscribers and their families about its mobile button service, designed to offer immediate contact with its medical center. The discreet, keychain-sized device allows users to connect to the 24/7 medical hub without needing to find or dial a phone. When activated, the button establishes a direct line to the Shal center, identifying the subscriber and accessing their personal medical file. In emergencies, the button can automatically pinpoint the user's location, enabling the team to dispatch medical assistance or an ambulance.
The service is particularly beneficial for the elderly and individuals with chronic conditions, offering a quick way to address medical questions that arise from changes in blood pressure, unfamiliar sensations, shortness of breath, or weakness. Subscribers can receive guidance on whether to seek further treatment. Shal also notes that users should consult a halachic authority regarding the use of the button on Shabbat and holidays.
The Shal medical center is staffed by doctors and nurses trained in remote medicine, with each subscriber's updated medical file available for reference. This allows the team to provide informed assistance for both routine consultations and emergencies. Subscribers can make unlimited calls for advice and support, not just in critical situations. In addition to the button, Shal offers communication via its app and regular phone calls.
The service provides peace of mind to families, especially during the holidays when routines change and loved ones may not be physically present. Shal emphasizes that the service aims to offer a professional, accessible resource, empowering subscribers to maintain independent lives. The support system includes a medical team, personal files, the ability to transmit medical data, home doctor visits, and ambulance dispatch when necessary.
Shal's response covers a range of medical issues, including falls, suspected hip fractures, strokes, blood sugar and pressure imbalances, heart failure, arrhythmias, and breathing difficulties. A digital blood pressure monitor that transmits readings to the center is also available. The service extends to anxiety and panic attacks, offering professional and empathetic support. In non-medical emergencies, the center can also contact fire or police services. Shal reiterates its commitment to ensuring subscribers and their families are aware of these resources, stating, 'With Shal, you are never alone.'
