OnKöl remote patient monitoring uses Gemalto IoT connectivity to support 'age in place' individuals
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, September 11, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, announces the use of its IoT connectivity technology
in OnKöl's mHealth solution. Enabled by Gemalto's wireless module, the smart hub
connects the elderly and those with special needs to their family and
caregivers, allowing them to live in their own home safely, independently and
comfortably.
With the population of older individuals due to double in size by 2030(1) and
the ratio of potential caregivers to decrease by over fifty percent(2), new
technology must rise to meet the need for quality care. However, adoption rates
amongst elderly patients have been low as current mHealth options are often too
complicated.
Designed for stylish simplicity, the award-winning OnKöl hub removes barriers to
technology adoption and encourages engagement without intimidation. Straight out
of the box, it can notify family members, caregivers, and even medical
professionals of everything from vital signs to medication reminders to
emergency response situations.
Equipped with Gemalto's M2M module, the above remote patient monitoring services
are securely managed over-the-air to simplify deployment, personalization and
software updates. The patient can easily connect health and home monitoring
devices, like blood pressure cuffs, heart-monitors, and smoke detectors, and
Gemalto's module encrypts and sends the gathered information to the OnKöl
platform where it is delivered to caregivers and can even be logged into the
patients' electronic medical records.

Executive Comments:
"Gemalto's reputation, wide variety of high quality, industrial-grade modules
and breadth of mHealth experience convinced us that their technology was the
best fit for our product. It allowed us to deliver a hub that is effortless to
set up, use, and scale to support OnKöl business growth in the future."
Erich Jacobs, CEO, OnKöl
"We were able to work with OnKöl to create an innovative product that has not

By enabling simple and reliable communication, Gemalto and OnKöl are helping
older individuals to maintain their independence and create peace of mind for
their caregivers."
