Medical Alarm Concepts Announces Beta Testing of Next Generation MediPendant(TM) Medical Alarm Technology!
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTCQ:MDHI), manufacturer of the MediPendant(TM), the first fully-monitored medical alarm system that allows the user to speak and listen directly through the pendant, today announced that it is beta testing its next generation medical alarm, and hopes to release the new product sometime next year. The new MediPendant will have enhanced features, including but not limited to, a rechargeable battery, a pendant locator, and wireless and cellular capabilities. In addition, the product will be sleeker in design and 25% smaller than the current device.
"As the personal medical alarm market continues to grow, so must the technology and features of the medical alarm. The MediPendant already offers the latest technology in the industry. The next generation of the product will be even more advanced, smaller, and offer exciting new features to the end user. Private investment capital, in tandem with the our recent financing and debt restructuring, gives Medical Alarm Concepts sufficient means to move forward, and enables us the resources necessary to position the MediPendant as a leader in the personal emergency medical alarm market," said Ronnie Adams, President and CFO of Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc.
Under the terms of a private agreement, Medical Alarm Concepts is working with a leading provider of both cellular and wireless technology. The new partner will finance all of the research and development costs for the MediPendant, and will also be responsible for licensing technologies from the company at a pre-determined cost.
A standard PERS system does not enable the user to speak and listen through the pendant, thus limiting them to a small area in their home. There is always the risk that the user will not be heard by the call center operator if they are not within range of the base station. MediPendant's patented two-way voice technology enables the user to speak and listen directly through the pendant no matter where they may be in and around their home. MediPendant service also includes advanced features such as multi-party voice sessions that enable the operator to link loved ones directly into the emergency call in real time, so they can be a part of the actual emergency call.
