TROY, Mich., Oct. 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- LifTrac Monitoring LLC of Troy, Michigan, has secured patent approval for an alert notification device that combines and offers the latest available wireless technology and enables several applications. "Never has there been the combining of software, hardware and all available technology -- (VOIP, GPS, medical monitoring, blue tooth, satellite, internet)-- into one usage," said Thomas J. Lynch, LifTrac Principal. "In fact, several of the world's largest wireless, security and electronic corporations have shown genuine interest in obtaining licensing rights to the technology," Lynch continued.
Primary features of the alert notification technology include:
-- single button press
-- medical monitoring alert
-- automated check-in services for prescriptions, appointments
or timed check-ins
-- geo-fencing tracking and monitoring (alerts for
residents/patients wandering outside prescribed boundaries)
-- prescription or appointment reminders
-- medical monitoring collection for patients under physician's
care access to pre-existing medical condition information
-- two-way voice communication to support "angels" family,
call center, police, fire, doctor or 911
-- customized "support angel" lists
-- full mobility/national coverage
According to Lynch, there are also a number of additional security features built into the technology. "For example, it has a 30-second voice recording capability, an emergency response button for pre-existing conditions and voice recording playback, dual wireless connection and automated follow-up on disconnects," he said.
Other potential applications:
-- public servants -- delivery personnel -- service technicians -- travelers -- sports enthusiasts -- "at-risk" with assumed need for help -- military and Homeland Security -- non-human diagnostics on equipment
