WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 30, 2006 -- ALR Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB : ALRT )
announces that Apple Patch Community, an assisted living organization
that is utilizing the ALRT500 system, has received a special invitation to
present at the prestigious 2006 Institute For Behavioral Health Informatics conference
about their innovative, leading edge method for assisted living care for
those with mental
retardation.
Apple Patch executive director, Chris Stevenson, reports that their use of
the ALRT500 compliance reminder and monitoring system has generated
attention at the national level and that the Apple Patch Community care
approach and the ALRT500 monitoring system will be presented in detail at
this national meeting on November 9th and 10th in Arlington, VA. "Several
officials and companies have heard about the ALRT system since we began use
a few months ago and called me about it," reports Stevenson. "The ALRT
compliance system has provided our caregivers with the assistance needed to
remember to complete or administer the many activities and medications that
are essential for quality care. The ability to remind and to monitor at
such an affordable price is remarkable. We expected the cost to be
substantially higher. Our monitoring has allowed for education changes and
timing changes to help improve behavior. Not only are we providing more
accurate and timely care but it also makes us more cost efficient."
First in the US
ALR Technologies ALRT500 system is the
first in kind in the US to provide affordable, portable and an easy to use
combination of reminding caregivers or patients to take medications or
treatments as well as allow for remote monitoring by healthcare
professionals or family members. ALR Technologies reports that
their system was designed for ease of use, no computer required for the
user, for portability and designed to be affordable. ALR Technologies has
recently announced the startup of commercial manufacturing and that
multi-faceted marketing to various population groups will begin in late
2006.
