BOCA RATON, FL--(Yahoo! Finance - August 25, 2016) - MobileHelp®, a leader in mobile Personal Emergency Response Systems (mPERS) and health management solutions, today announced its 10-year anniversary.
"Ten years ago, we set out to redefine the medical alert industry and give people the freedom to have access to emergency help wherever they went -- a truly novel concept at the time," said Rob Flippo, CEO and co-founder of MobileHelp. "Since then, we've maintained a culture of extraordinary passion, dedication and results, professionally recognized as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America. This has reinforced the fact that we are providing a much-needed product to the marketplace."
MobileHelp's growth in its industry hinges on the company's ongoing commitment to technological innovation in the field of mPERS technology. Since its inception, MobileHelp has developed a strong reputation for quality and affordability.
The company's commitment to innovation over the past decade is evidenced by its product and service features, including the integration of nationwide wireless voice, data and GPS technology and its fall detection devices all of which allow for real-time monitoring and location tracking and expedited personal emergency assistance. The company has also focused on utilizing its product line and solutions to proactively address the catalysts surrounding falls, introducing such key applications as medication reminders, activity tracking and its MobileVitals telehealth solution to support customers in monitoring important aspects of their health.
To commemorate its ten years in business, MobileHelp has announced a new partnership with the Volen Center to give back to its local community, as well as introduced a special anniversary logo. In addition, the company has also released ten company statistics as a way to capture its timeline:
