KORE and MobileHelp® Expand Partnership to Ensure Long-term Health and Safety for Seniors
M2M and IoT Services Leader Provides Connectivity for Medical Alert
Systems Delivering Health and Safety Benefits for Seniors and Peace of
Mind for Caregivers
ALPHARETTA, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IoT Evolution Expo 2016 — KORE,
the world’s largest managed wireless network services provider
specializing in Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications, today expanded its existing agreement to provide
enhanced connectivity for MobileHelp’s suite of Medical Alert Systems.
Through the KORE network, MobileHelp provides seniors and caregivers
with proactive solutions for home-based and on-the-go health and safety
monitoring.
For more than six years, the connectivity provided by the KORE network
has allowed MobileHelp’s customers to embrace living independently, with
access to emergency help whenever they needed it. As MobileHelp now
expands its offering to provide customers with new health management
solutions, the KORE network will become even more integral to the
company’s supporting infrastructure.
“When it comes to health and safety, network reliability is a critical
component,” said MobileHelp CEO Rob Flippo. “Our partnership with KORE
ensures that our customers have reliable access to the products and
services we provide to help keep them safe, healthy and in charge.”
“With an aging population, it’s vital for people to live independently
as long as possible and as safely as possible,” said KORE CEO Alex
Brisbourne. “MobileHelp provides seniors with the ability to proactively
manage their medications, track their activity levels and vital signs
such as weight and blood pressure, and receive emergency assistance –
which in turn gives them the option to stay in their homes longer. We’re
pleased that our partnership with MobileHelp is helping make this
possible.”
