PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Aug. 18, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCBB:MDHI), manufacturer of the MediPendant™, the first fully-monitored medical alarm system that allows you to speak and listen directly through the pendant, announced today that it has successfully begun marketing its MediPendant™ product in several regions of Australia and the Middle East.
An initial shipment was sent to one of India's largest home healthcare marketing agencies last week. In addition, negotiations have been finalized with one of Australia's largest providers of personal emergency response systems. Medical Alarm Concepts™ is currently negotiating with several other Australian and Middle Eastern distributors as well. "The medical alarm space is booming right now, but there is limited availability outside of the United States, especially for a product with this type of advanced technology. We have been working on developing relationships with this type of distribution partner for months. We are happy to finally see some of our efforts in this area come to fruition," said Jennifer Loria, VP of Corporate Development for Medical Alarm Concepts. "Our plan is to position this product for worldwide distribution and sales coverage as soon as possible," added Ms. Loria.
The MediPendant™ is already being successfully marketed through several distribution partners in the United States, Canada and Bermuda.
