(OTC: MLRT), a pioneer in location-sensitive health monitoring devices and wearable technology products for remote patient monitoring, announced the launch of its new 4G GPS SmartSole in the U.K. through its distribution partner Possum Ltd.
MetAlert’s technology promotes lifestyle wellness and independence for patients who have become more vulnerable due to mild cognitive impairment (“MCI”) and would therefore be more likely to be reliant on assistance from caregivers at any given hour. For over 50 years Possum has been at the forefront of supplying advanced Assistive Technology (AT) and Telecare to help the elderly live more independently.
“We are excited to be launching the next generation of 4G SmartSole in the U.K. with our distribution partner of many years, Possum,” stated Andrew Duncan, Metalert Director. “The U.K. is a very strategic with its advance use of technology, like telecare and remote monitoring devices to bring efficiencies and better patient care to a stretched healthcare system. Possum is a market leader in this area, and we have great confidence in their ability to support our products and continue to build brand awareness and acceptance of the product amongst healthcare authorities and private healthcare organizations.”
“We are very pleased by how well this latest generation of the “Made in U.S.A.” SmartSole has been received by our customers, especially with an extended battery life that can last up to 5 days” stated Phil Iles, National Sales Manager Telecare Possum UK. “We have high interest and demand from our customers servicing the senior space for the GPS SmartSole and look forward to strong business throughout the rest of the year.”
The Alzheimer’s Association, in a lengthy special report providing data for 2022, notes that subtle cognitive changes, such as those in memory and thinking, are often a feature of aging, and about 12 to 18 percent of people age 60 or older are currently living with MCI.
