Mobile Emergency Response Devices Not Only for the Elderly: Numera

Medical devices such as the Libris can connect to Bluetooth sensors to manage
chronic conditions, and the market will expand to younger users, according to
Numera.

Mobile personal emergency response systems (MPERS) help monitor elderly
patients, but younger users will also benefit from the technology, according
to Tim Smokoff, the CEO of Numera, which makes the Libris device.

The Libris incorporates two-way voice, automated fall detection and location
tracking as well as telehealth capabilities. Users can send measurements from
biometric devices through a Numera Net gateway cleared by the US Food and
Drug Administration to the Numera Net Home Hub, where caregivers and family
members can access the data.
