Business Wire
Users in Israel will be able for the first
time in the world to perform an at-home Biomarker blood test guided
by SHL’s medical team, following ECG tests using The SmartHeart®
for Rapid Heart Attack Detection.
SHL Telemedicine Ltd. (NASDAQ: SHLT, SIX: SHLTN;) ("SHL"
or the "Company"), a leading provider and developer of
advanced personal telemedicine solutions, is proud to announce that
it has expanded its offering in Israel to include the
groundbreaking ability to perform at-home Biomarker blood
tests.
This diagnostic tool is designed to rapidly identify cardiac
markers for detection of a heart attack, transforming emergency
cardiac care with speed and precision. Following concerns of a
cardiac event, the addition of the Biomarker test provides a
comprehensive snapshot, similar to an emergency room assessment, by
combining this novel blood test with a detailed medical history
(anamnesis) and a 12-lead ECG transmission. This trio of diagnostic
elements, now all available from home with SHL Telemedicine, will
aid in identifying cardiac events quickly during the critical
symptomatic phase, thus helping save lives.
When a potential cardiac event is suspected, the Biomarker test
is administered as the final step in the diagnosis process,
following anamnesis and ECG broadcasting. SHL's telemedicine team
guides the patient in real-time on how to perform the blood test
and continues support until emergency medical services arrive.
Results from the Biomarker test are available within ten
minutes1.
"The ability to perform at-home Biomarker blood tests in Israel
is a significant advancement in our mission to revolutionize
accessible cardiac care," said Erez Nachtomy, CEO of SHL
Telemedicine. "This innovative approach not only speeds up the
process of diagnosing heart attacks but also significantly enhances
the safety and efficacy of at-home cardiac monitoring," Nachtomy
added.
