Telehealth: The Future Of Medicine?
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) February 07, 2012
To much of the population, the idea that a person in their own home can have their vital statistics monitored and then have the information assessed from afar to see if medical attention is needed sounds like something light years away, but for Automated Security Alert, it?s a reality. Telehealth in many ways embraces existing technologies such as push button medical alarms and monitored medication dispensers, to serve as the protective shield that oversees numerous aspects of patient care. In fact, Jason Seyler, the company?s Director of Life Saftey said, ?Much of this technology has been around for years, people are finally starting to embrace it.?
With the ability to gather vital statistics and have them assessed by nurses who can have doctor?s give advice without the patient needing to leave their home, it can be a huge financial burden lifted. Rather than having to go to a doctor?s office or hospital to have their vital signs checked, the peripherals can monitor blood glucose, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, peak flow, and weight. If medical intervention is needed, it can be arranged. If no medical intervention is needed, the patient saves the time and the expense of a medical visit.
Automated Security Alert, Inc., has provided freedom and security since 1988 to over 60,000 consumers through the use of technology and services that enable seniors, physically-challenged persons and recovering patients to maintain an independent lifestyle in their homes. ASA?s creative, dependable solutions include medical alert systems(personal emergency response systems); fall detection systems; and medication management systems, including electronic pill dispensers and monitored medication dispensers.
