KORE Wireless has teamed up with Medical Guardian to launch their eSIM-enabled medical alert device, the MGMini to provide 24/7 connectivity without the usual challenges with cell coverage. This device also fits in with KORE’s “IoT for Good” initiatives and Medical Guardian’s commitment to empowering lives as the MGMini supports “active aging”.

According to the World Health Organization, life expectancy is increasing throughout the world, which is a testament to how far humanity has come, and also poses unique challenges. As global populations continue to age, economic and social demands will increase. The ability for people to extend their quality of life and “actively age” while maintaining mobility and agency is paramount.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems are pivotal to providing the customized, personal care that many patients now expect and—as they age, need. This gives visibility to both patient and care providers, helps maintain commitment to healthcare regimens, and in the case of medical alert devices, connectivity to emergency services in critical moments.

Leveraging KORE’s OneSIM technology with Medical Guardian’s latest PERS device to seamlessly connect with emergency service providers, the MGMini can help the elderly live independently for much longer and with less fear.
