RoomMate is a Groundbreaking 3D Infrared Supervision and Fall Detection Automated Monitoring System

LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MetAlert, Inc. (OTC: MLRT), is a pioneer in location sensitive health monitoring devices and wearable technology products for remote patient monitoring, announced it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Norway based Sensio Group to begin marketing and distributing RoomMate, care with dignity, 3D Infrared, supervision with fall detection automated monitoring system.

RoomMate is a simple and effective solution for looking after patients without intruding on their personal space, allowing for a total ‘anonymized’ supervision and monitoring service using Infrared 3D Technology. No wearables, cameras or devices are needed, everything is monitored independently through a wall-mounted sensor, which can be set up in less than 30 minutes, that alerts caregivers of various incidents such as movements, falls and abnormal patterns of activity. RoomMate is API enabled and ready to integrate into existing care platforms, with plug and play installation and an intuitive user experience. This is the latest and most advanced remote monitoring and fall detection system, being introduced to the U.S. market for both personal home use, and commercial facilities such as assisted living, care homes and hospitals, that offers a number of benefits for patients and their caregivers. With RoomMate, caregivers can reduce staffing requirements, improve security, and detect falls and other incidents before they become serious injuries. For seniors, RoomMate provides a sense of independence and privacy while still ensuring that they are monitored closely for their safety.

“We are very excited about this partnership and remarkable proven technology. With over 5,500 RoomMates in operation in 220 municipalities across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, we will begin marketing and distributing the product and monitoring service in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. immediately,” stated Andrew Duncan, MetAlert Business Development Director.

MetAlert conducted extensive testing of the product and installed several units in Los Angeles. “We installed RoomMate about 6 weeks ago in a private home and both parents have told us how this product has changed their lives. They now can monitor their autistic child’s activities remotely and unobtrusively, 24x7, without always having someone with him or a camera that would violate his privacy; it’s a game changer for them,” stated Patrick Bertagna MetAlert CEO.

Some of the Remote Patient Monitoring - Roommate use cases and benefits include:

  • Fall prevention and detection

  • Detect and provide alerts about behavior that leads to falls and injuries

  • Reduces staffing requirements and travel to people’s homes or rooms

  • Improves security, sleep, and quality of life for the patient.

  • Anonymized supervision, no cameras

  • Patient safety and well-being increased

  • Home care – long-term and discharged patients

  • Care homes – memory care

  • Assisted living – more freedom and space for patients

  • Hospitals – e.g., geriatric, and orthopedic

Dylan D, a caregiver stated, “RoomMate is fantastic; I receive alerts in real-time on my phone and get a sense of how my patient is doing without having to be in the room with him or watching him through a camera. This protects his privacy while letting me know if I need to check up on him in case of an incident.”

In a time when the elderly population is growing at an unprecedented rate, companies like MetAlert are stepping up to provide innovative solutions that address the unique needs of this demographic. Metalert is driving its growth strategy through groundbreaking technologies, such as RoomMate and SmartSole plus. In the growing Senior and Home Care market, MetAlert is positioned to become a dominant player. MetAlert has ambitious plans to penetrate these high CAGR projected markets, and for a future up-listing onto a major exchange such as NASDAQ. MetAlert's rebranding strategy could not come at a better time to transform the Company into a fast-moving technology powerhouse in the healthcare space innovating new ideas and product lines for patients and caregivers alike.

CEO, Patrick Bertagna added, "We believe certain key technologies addressing this global market have tremendous implications for cutting edge growth in health care. For example, imagine how valuable aggregated data collected by RoomMate and SmartSole plus combined with artificial intelligence will be for developing predictive scenarios and medicines to better the lives of tens of millions of people.”
