UK manufacturer and provider of mobility and care equipment in the community healthcare sector, Prism Medical UK has formed a new strategic partnership with innovative provider of Internet of Things [IoT] technologies, IoT Solutions Group, to enhance its product and service offerings and deliver smarter healthcare solutions.
In securing IoT Solutions Group as its new technology partner, Prism Medical UK aims to extend its level of care to end users through an advanced ‘in-home sensor’, which cleverly monitors the daily activity of vulnerable people living independently, while minimising the risk of severe injury or death.
Already utilised by several Local Authorities across the country, the IoT Solutions Group in-home sensor is designed to deliver peace of mind for carers and family members of vulnerable, independent people by alerting to any changes in daily patterns and behaviours.
Claire Litton, chief commercial officer of Prism Medical UK, said: “At Prism Healthcare, we believe that despite poor health and limited mobility, everyone deserves to live life to the full – and whether living at home or in long-term care facilities, everyone should have an equal opportunity to be happy, and independent for as long as possible.
“We recognise that the use of technology in healthcare is advancing at an exciting rate, with many smart solutions now available, like the in-home sensor, that offer significant benefit to our end users, whilst aligning with our core mission and purpose as an organisation. We are, therefore, delighted to announce IoT Solutions Group as our new technology partner and believe their innovative and cost-effective devices will provide reassurance to vulnerable people living independently – their families and their caregivers - within both the public and private sector.”
