- Leading Connected Homecare Solutions Provider Adds Advanced Health Monitoring 
Platform to Existing Senior Care Offering

Essence SmartCare [https://www.essencesmartcare.com], a leader in IoT-based 
remote care solutions, today announced the launch of VitalOn, a comprehensive 
remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform for active seniors and older adults 
living with chronic conditions.

VitalOn introduces a new concept to the care market by combining telecare, 
wellness and RPM capabilities into a single, connected platform. The system is 
always on, providing continuous monitoring and chronic conditions management 
for a wide range of healthcare needs, both in the home and on the go. It 
continually gathers and analyzes patient data from multiple health and 
monitoring devices to facilitate proactive, predictive and preventative care.

VitalOn is easily installed through a gateway with multiple connectivity 
options and is compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth Low Energy 
(BLE)-enabled medical devices. The platform continuously monitors wellbeing 
parameters and routine vital signs to detect and alert users, carers or 
clinicians in case of abnormal activity. It optimizes the user experience by 
addressing aging-related issues and chronic conditions, including diabetes, 
hypertension and congestive heart failure without the need to rely on 
smartphone or tablet apps.

"As people age and their medical needs become more complex, they find 
themselves torn between the need to feel safe and cared for while remaining 
free and independent," said Dr. Haim Amir, CEO and Founder of Essence Group. 
"VitalOn helps resolve this dilemma with a solution that enables seniors to 
monitor their vital health indications and connects them directly to their care 
providers, both inside and outside of the home. It allows them to continue 
living safe, active and independent lives, regardless of whether they have only 
minimal medical needs or require regular, chronic or even intensive treatment." 

To enable an integrated and scalable suite of monitoring devices, Essence 
SmartCare has partnered with various connected medical device manufacturers. At 
launch, the suite includes a pulse oximeter, weight scale, blood pressure 
monitor, thermometer, blood glucose meter and wearable activity/sleep tracker. 
All devices automatically pair with the VitalOn gateway and are both 
FDA-cleared and CE-marked. Once connected, they continually transmit 
patient-generated data to a real-time clinical dashboard that enables care 
teams to remain constantly informed, facilitating early intervention and 
improved patient outcomes. Advanced APIs enable seamless integration with all 
major health monitoring platforms.

"We face a reality in which at least 80% of seniors are living with at least 
one chronic condition 
[https://www.ncoa.org/article/get-the-facts-on-healthy-aging], which requires 
continuous monitoring for effective management. VitalOn provides the most 
connected, vigilant, and seamless solution for monitoring the health and 
wellbeing of seniors without infringing on their daily lives," said Barak Katz, 
General Manager for Essence SmartCare. "This is in line with our company's 
overriding commitment to provide peace of mind through innovation 
[https://www.essence-grp.com/press-releases/essence-group-announces-peace-of-min
d-strategy-as-top-objective-of-all-future-iot-products-and-services/], by 
bringing to market accessible and easy-to-use technologies that significantly 
improve quality of life."

Essence SmartCare is partnering with telehealth service providers and system 
integrators to implement the solution in health systems and senior care 
facilities across the United States, European Union and Australia.
