iPhone app MEDHotline

LifeGuard Global has combined its popular Emergency Call 911 mobile app.
with a designated Enterprise autodial button called MEDHotline.
This product is designed to provide the protection of 911 calling, with a pre-defined telemedicine or a non-emergency phone number.
Telemedicine is becoming one the most preferred ways to get immediate medical advice from a doctor, PA or nurse in a non-emergency situation.
This is especially true if you cannot get a timely appointment from your primary doctor.

Telemedicine can be an efficient way to ask, or discuss with a doctor, a medical question.
Typically these types of conferences are for simple treatments with over-the-counter drugs.
If serious enough from a Video exam the doctor might recommend the patient go to the hospital or make a follow-up appointment with their primary doctor.

It is also suggested that the MEDHotline button can be used as an alternative in calling 911 emergency services.
Dispatching of EMS equipment and personnel for non-emergency phone calls, is an ever increasing burden, to the already over loaded EMS departments.
General medical questions can be efficiently screened by a doctor, PA or nurse to determine if the callers inquiry is a true medical emergency or one that can be handled by a home visit from a Paramedic or nurse.
Pre-screening of a medical related question can save time, money and help reduce overcrowding in hospital ERs and medical clinics.,
