Pioneering a New Era of Cardiac Care, SHL Telemedicine
Established a Comprehensive Network to Broaden Access to Expert
Cardiology Services for B2B and Direct-to-Consumer Segments through
its SmartHeart® Technology.
SHL Telemedicine Ltd. (NASDAQ: SHLT, SIX: SHLTN;) ("SHL”
or the “Company”), a leading provider and developer of
advanced personal telemedicine solutions is pleased to announce the
establishment of a comprehensive network of cardiologists aimed at
catering to the needs of its B2B clientele and supporting the
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) sales of its SmartHeart® technology across
the US.
A keystone of clinical cardiology, the electrocardiogram (ECG)
remains the most widely performed test. While computer-interpreted
ECG programs (CIE) aid physicians in interpreting ECGs, they cannot
replace the critical analysis provided by seasoned physicians.
Recognizing this, SHL remains steadfast in its commitment to
harness the capabilities of its SmartHeart®, a portable 12-lead ECG
and cloud-based platform, to deliver top-notch clinical care. This
initiative ensures that both consumers and busy clinicians have the
assurance of a board-certified cardiologist's expertise.
In establishing a US Nationwide Cardiology Network, SHL has
collaborated with HeartNexus, a team of nationally recognized,
board-certified cardiologists specializing in cardiac test
interpretation, peer-to-peer consultations, and on-demand patient
telemedicine visits.
Dr. Robert Beto, M.D. FACC (CEO, HeartNexus) remarked: “In line
with the guidelines set forth by the American College of
Cardiology, it’s imperative that ECGs are interpreted by physicians
with profound specialized training to ascertain the accuracy of any
clinical diagnosis. We are elated to collaborate with SHL,
extending our expertise to patients at home, hospitals, skilled
nursing facilities, and busy physician practices utilizing
SmartHeart®, thereby ensuring rapid, accurately interpreted ECG
reports.”
Echoing this sentiment, Erez Nachtomy, CEO of SHL Telemedicine,
stated: "By drawing upon our rich heritage in telemedicine and ECG
interpretation services, we have established this virtual network
to furnish our customers and SmartHeart® consumer members with
unfettered access to board-certified cardiologists, anytime,
anywhere.”
Recently, SHL began testing a D2C membership offering that will
provide users both at home and on the go with access to its
SmartHeart®, 12 lead ECG and cardiology reviews its Cardiology
Network. SHL Telemedicine’s SmartHeart® technology is the leading
personal use, hospital-grade, mobile, 12-lead ECG technology,
helping to reduce mortality, improve quality of life and reduce the
financial burden of cardiovascular disease.
The ongoing developments embody SHL Telemedicine’s relentless
pursuit of delivering unparalleled value to its customers and
stakeholders while championing the transformative power of
telemedicine.
