LifeLearn(R) and i4C Innovations Partner to Enhance the Customer Experience for VOYCE(TM) Wearable Technology for Pets.

New Technology Monitors Pet Health Indicators and Educates Pet Owners About Animal Health.


GUELPH, Ontario, Jan. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeLearn, an educational publisher and interactive media company established within the veterinary and pet-related industries, has announced a strategic partnership with i4C Innovations, a subsidiary of Intersections Inc., which unveiled VOYCE wearable technology for pets at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The launch of VOYCE was highlighted by extensive media coverage at CES and highlighted by being named "Best of CES 2014" from multiple organizations. The LifeLearn – i4C partnership will give VOYCE customers member-only access to exclusive LifeLearn educational content designed to help both pet owners and their veterinarians provide better health care for dogs.

Unlike common clip-on pet activity trackers, VOYCE is a revolutionary health band worn comfortably around a dog's neck, monitoring key vital signs including heart and respiratory rates, as well as other wellness indicators such as activity, rest, calories burned, and more. The LifeLearn/i4C partnership will provide VOYCE customers with exclusive, direct, and first-time access to thousands of articles written by top practicing veterinarians, board certified specialists, behaviorists, and other pet experts. This content will allow VOYCE customers to gain a deeper understanding of pet-related topics and learn about their dog's behavior, nutrition, training, and health. Such information can also lead to increased efficiencies in veterinary hospitals as well as increased compliance outside of the hospital.

"The wearable technology revolution has been primarily focused on human interactions, until now," said James Carroll, president and chief operating officer of LifeLearn. "The introduction of VOYCE represents the most significant development in pet-oriented data collection and aggregation and will inevitably lead to deeper connections between veterinarians and their clients."

"This partnership with LifeLearn allows VOYCE customers to understand their dogs like never before," said Jeff Noce, president of i4C Innovations. "It further distinguishes VOYCE by allowing customers to easily interpret data in meaningful and actionable ways. Equally important is the fact that VOYCE allows veterinarians to gain insight into the health of their patients outside of their clinics."

Representatives from i4C Innovations and LifeLearn will be at NAVC in Orlando, FL on January 18 – 22 to showcase VOYCE at Booth #4303.
