[{"type":"text","content":"\n Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Jan. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eWellness Healthcare Corporation (“eWellness”, “EWLL”, “the Company”), a provider of the state of the art PHZIO platform for the digital physical therapy (“PT”) and telehealth markets announced today that it is joining the mission to create a much lower carbon emissions with PHZIO. EWLL is reducing the Carbon Footprint for the physical therapy industry through the use of its PHZIO platform. Please see the article on Carbon \"Footprint of Telemedicine Solutions - Unexplored Opportunity for Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Health Sector“ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4154849/. Based upon the above noted article, replacing physical in-clinic patient treatment visits with telemedicine appointments using PHZIO resulted in a significant 40–70 times decrease in carbon emissions. EWLL is joining the mission to create a low carbon economy with PHZIO. Carbon Neutral is ideal as an easily adoptable standard for the physical therapy industry, that wants to engage carbon reduction in a simple direct way. PT’s need to stop driving 30 minutes one way to the clinic to treat 15 patients per day. Patients need to stop driving 30 minutes one way to receive PT treatments. Literally, this would save a total of 32 round trips or 16 hours of driving per day by using PHZIO! That’s equivalent to 4 tanks of gas per day! A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. This assumes the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of about 22.0 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2.
