FDA Clears AFrame Digital's Monitoring Device for Seniors

With the FDA 510(k) clearance and successful field trial results in hand, AFrame Digital is now ready to offer its sophisticated 24/7 monitoring system to the public.

Reston, VA (PRWEB) May 6, 2009 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today cleared for marketing a new health monitoring and alerting system for seniors made by AFrame Digital, Inc.

Working closely with researchers at major universities and local healthcare institutions, AFrame Digital, Inc. has developed a sophisticated set of discreet monitoring devices that can detect impacts from fall-related events, respond to emergency call button presses, quickly locate users, and discretely observe health and habits over time.

"Our goal is to provide peace of mind to caregivers, families and their elderly loved ones," said Cindy Crump, founder and CEO of AFrame Digital. "We've had such a positive response to our early research and field trials. We're delighted that now, with the FDA clearance, we will be able to offer our products to the public."

AFrame Digital's innovative system, the MobileCare™ Monitor, includes the myPHD™ personal help device that is designed to be fashionable on the wrist and always available. The system provides an electronic "safety net" for active seniors that are living independently at home or in a continuing care retirement community. Operating non-intrusively in the background is a state-of-the-art, professionally managed monitoring system of secure wireless networks. The secure network allows the MobileCare™ Monitor to alert designated caregivers or family members anywhere in the world. Long term care professionals benefit from a suite of services that securely manage wellness analytics and resident alerts. The ability to quickly locate a resident that is asking for assistance promises to enhance safety and resident care. The system is private, secure and fully HIPAA-compliant.

AFrame Digital, Inc. was founded in 2005 to develop intelligent health monitoring for individuals in rehabilitation and long term care. The company is working with healthcare personnel to design novel monitoring strategies for treatment regimens that improve the quality of life for both residents and caregivers.
