Safety Care
My Halo
MyHalo is a lightweight, waterproof pendant with auto fall detect that will trigger an emergency call on a MobileHelp mobile device or home base station in the event of a fall. The user wears a comfortable, waterproof device which contains tiny sensors capable of measuring user orientation and three-dimensional motion. If the user falls and is incapacitated, immobilized or unconscious, the pendant will detect the sudden fall and send a signal to MobileHelp’s emergency response center. Even if the user cannot speak, the operator will be able to dispatch help.
• Mobile Help
Your mobile device or PAL, is a cell phone, a GPS tracking device and an emergency fall detector all in one. A single button connects you to a CareSpecialist – no numbers to remember or small keypads to operate.
If you need assistance, push a button. Need roadside assistance or turn-by-turn directions? Push the same button. When you would like to call a family member, your doctor or your hair salon, just push the button and our CareSpecialists can connect you.

The Med-eMonitor™ System
The Med-eMonitor™ System is a combined medication and care plan adherence solution. The System comprises a portable patient interface device and automated data upload and download capability using a cradle connected to the patient’s phone line.
The Proteus digestible microchips are made of trace amounts of silicon, magnesium, and copper. When you swallow one, the acid in your stomach causes the microchip to generate a tiny little voltage signal that's detectable using a skin patch. The patch sends a confirmation message to your phone, which routes it to your doctor, who then knows that you've just taken your meds.
Meanwhile, after a few minutes the microchip harmlessly dissolves and you get some extra minerals in your diet.
The person dispensing the medicines scans the pills with a smartphone camera.MyPillSense stores the image and labels it with the time and location.Irody’s algorithms identify the medicine and compare it with the patient's scheduled medicines.If the medicine is not a match with the patient's regimen, MyPillSense gives a warning.MyPillSense sends a copy of the pill taken to the parent/caregiver for their information.If a medicine was not given as schedule, MyPillSense sends an alert to the patient or caregiver.

HAPIfork
• From Hong Kong-based HAPILabs, the HAPIfork is a fork with embedded sensors and a Bluetooth transmitter. The fork “knows” when you’re eating too fast, and vibrates to alert you, as well as sending notifications to a companion app. The theory is that if you eat too fast, it takes longer to realize you’re full, so you might eat too much.
