| Company Introduction |
The declining birthrate, the graying of society, the increasing incidence of so-called “lifestyle diseases”: these and other problems have stimulated greater interest in issues of safety, welfare and health care. It would be of great assistance if we could use wearable sensors to monitor our physical condition and our immediate environment and, when necessary, summon help automatically. Now, finally, such a system is possible! |
