New technology will protect Midwest seniors

AFrame Digital, Inc., and Communications Mid-America have announced a partnership to offer AFrame’s Personal Health Monitor, a personal health care monitoring tool which represents the next generation of health care technology. CMA, which provides health care communication solutions for hospitals and long-term care facilities, will provide AFrame’s MobileCare Monitor service to its health care customers in the Midwest.

The Personal Health Monitor resembles a sports watch and records a wearer’s weight, blood pressure, pulse and blood oxygen levels. In addition, it can detect impacts sustained by the wearer, such as those experienced during a fall. This information is then transmitted over a wireless network to alert caregivers and family members.
