Blackline Wins New Deal Adding Medical Facilities with Out-Patient Care to Their Loner GPS™ Roster of Enterprise Deployments
Lone Worker Safety Solutions Inc. and
Blackline GPS are pleased to announce the implementation of
Loner GPS™ for use within three US based neurological
rehabilitation treatment facilities in Texas and California for
patient monitoring and safety measures.
The treatment facilities are highly effective, aimed at
delivering the world's highest quality brain injury
rehabilitation programs, including long term care options that
focus on improving quality of life and independent living.
Outpatient care is a significant part of the rehabilitation
process and long term care for patients with neurological
injury. "The Loner safety instrument performed superbly, and
during patient evaluations it was reportedly easy to use and
highly responsive, resulting in improved care and outsourced
supervision for patients", said Brad McIntosh, President of Lone
Worker Safety Solutions Inc.
"Loner is a product that clearly spans a wide variety of uses
that can be applied worldwide. The use of Loner in this case is
a testament to this ever expanding market beyond the products
core use for lone worker safety. We're proud to be able to
improve patient care giving within those out-of-facility
environments and offer patients the peace of mind that help is
only the press of a button away", said Clark Swanson, President
& CEO of Blackline GPS.
The Loner product is used to monitor outpatient recipients,
offering treatment centers and hospitals a high quality and
robust solution for extended care and residential treatment.
Family members of patients can rest assured that their loved one
is monitored with a safety instrument that will also provide the
patients' location in the event of a problem.
"We are excited about our relationship with Blackline and the
responsiveness in the market to the Loner GPS™ product. In the
short time since establishing our relationship for the
distribution of the Loner safety product, we have participated
in the sale of Loner to companies ranging from the
transportation industry to industrial gas to the medical field.
We're increasingly optimistic about the capabilities and markets
that this product will address," said Mr. McIntosh.
