José Silva, a 68-year-old retired nurse from Madeira, spent more than four decades working in emergency and primary healthcare. Now managing conditions like hypertension, vertigo, and low back pain, José knows the importance of accurate, coordinated care – especially as he ages.
Despite being tech-comfortable, José finds it frustrating to navigate fragmented systems for his GP, specialists, pharmacy, and hospital visits. He worries that outdated or missing data – such as discontinued medications – could lead to medical errors or unnecessary repeat testing.
With the xShare Yellow Button, José now accesses his health data through the SESARAM app, Madeira’s regional health platform. When visiting a different provider or health facility, he can instantly share his most up-to-date medical records in a standard, secure format. This ensures continuity, avoids duplication, and gives professionals the information they need to deliver safe, personalized care.
For José, the Yellow Button means more than convenience – it reinforces his right to actively participate in his care and practice what he once preached: patient empowerment through information and respect.
