Question 1

Question 2

How much debt is there in the company and is the founders or directors personal investment as equity?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Surprised this campaign hasn't gained more traction yet. Few questions. 1) If a home has more than one elderly individual in need of monitoring are the base stations set up to receive multiple inbound signals, or would you need multiple base stations? 2) Is there an ability to...

If a user or family member is paying, service alerts are typically sent to family members, not nurses, at the user's discretion. Regarding call center, we work with a fully...

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a reference study that shows re-routing high-utilizers can yield greater than 6-to-1 cost savings. At this point, we cannot share the specifics of this proprietary study publicly. However, we can say that the reference study is a 12-month study comparing 2 cohorts, experimental and control: (1) an experimental group of historical high ER utilizers using a proactive medical alert to route non-emergency calls to nurse triage; these users are only routed to ER when there is high pro...
