Medical Alarm Concepts and JTT-EMS in Medical Alarm and Senior
Communications Services Joint Venture
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2014) - Medical
Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc. (OTC Pink: MDHI) and JTT Energy
Management Solutions Ltd of Vancouver, Canada, today announced a
joint venture to provide communication and emergency contact
services for Cantonese and Mandarin speaking senior citizens living
in Canada and the United States. The service, which will be
launched in conjunction with Hong Kong-based D-100 Radio, operated
by Global Chinese Network LTD, will initially be launched in
Toronto and Vancouver, with expansion to San Francisco and other
U.S. and Canadian cities over the coming months.
The new service offering will utilize a dedicated radio channel
provided by D100, (www.d100.net) which will provide 24-hour
Cantonese language programming for seniors. Integrated into
the programming will be various service offerings that seniors can
access by pressing their "easy call in button." Medical Alarm
Concepts will be providing its MediPendant® product for use as the
call-in apparatus, providing the senior with not only a way to
interact with the service provider in a two-way manner, but also to
summon help in the event of a fall or other medical emergency.
Alex Pui, General Manager of JTT-EMS commented, "Many seniors
feel isolated at home and this service is designed to alleviate
this situation. The two-way, speak and listen through the
pendant technology of the MediPendant®, makes this service offering
possible and much more flexible than any other technology on the
market. We plan to begin marketing the service as soon as we
receive our initial shipment of MediPendant® devices. There
are already over 300,000 Chinese-speaking subscribers to the D100
programming and the service continues to grow rapidly. We are
excited to be partnering with Medical Alarm Concepts and D100 to
bring this important service offering to the Chinese communities of
Canada and the U.S."
The senior-oriented programming, which will be provided by well
established D100 Radio of Hong Kong, will allow seniors to respond
directly via the MediPendant® device to a call center to receive
information about local events and product offerings that may be of
interest to them. The call center operator has designed a
sophisticated machine-based language translation service to enable
the mainly Cantonese and Mandarin speaking customer base to easily
communicate with the call center and to provide a direct link to a
Hong Kong-based operator if needed. In addition to being an
information service that will allow the user to speak and listen
through the pendant to the call center operator, the MediPendant®
can also be used as an emergency communications device to summon
help in the event of an emergency.
Ronnie Adams, CEO of Medical Alarm Concepts, commented, "With
the software-based operating system of the MediPendant®, we are
able to easily program the device to 'speak' any language. We
are currently working on the Cantonese language programming that
will support this new offering, which will complement the device's
English, Spanish, Danish and Mandarin language capabilities. This
new service offering is an innovative use of our patented, two-way,
speak and listen through the pendant technology. We look
forward to supporting this joint venture and to supplying our
MediPendant® product so as to enable the Cantonese and Mandarin
speaking senior population to not only be connected in the event of
an emergency, but to also access the resources of this innovative
information delivery service in order to improve the quality of
their lives."
About Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc.

is a patented two-way voice technology enabling the user to speak
