Halo Monitoring Joins Aging Technology Alliance

Online, October 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Huntsville, Al.-Halo Monitoring, maker of myHalo, the most advanced fall detection system for seniors, is now a member of the Aging Technology Alliance or AgeTek. Halo Monitoring is among 31 other companies in an organization designed to promote the awareness, benefits and value of the products and services member companies provide to an aging society. Halo was one of the founding members forming the alliance which was organized this year with the goal of becoming a leading aging-focused technology consortium.

"Halo Monitoring is proud to join the Aging Technology Alliance because we believe by encouraging cooperation and facilitating innovation the aging technology industry will advance as a whole," says Chris Otto, CEO of Halo Monitoring. "By sharing strategies and best practices we can help our companies grow and help to bring peace of mind to our clients and their families.

The advanced myHalo system utilizes a small comfortable, wireless device and is the first wearable medical alarm that sends an automatic alert- no need to push a button- in the event of a fall. In addition, while most medical alarms only react to an emergency, myHalo is the first system of its kind to monitor the user's health and physical activity 24/7. Through the use of a private, secure website, the system provides the ability for designated persons and family to "look-in" on an elderly loved one for peace of mind without invading their personal privacy.

The Aging Technology Alliance hopes to generate co- or cross-marketing initiatives, collective PR initiatives, and member discounts to trade shows. The alliance plans a workshop and a pavilion in Silvers Summit area of the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
