AT&T Launches EverThere Device for Location Monitoring

AT&T has announced the launch of EverThere, a small wearable device aimed at seniors that can detect falls and quickly identify location.

EverThere will be available beginning Wednesday, Dec. 4.

When a fall occurs, the Company noted that AT&T EverThere can detect a fall and automatically connect to a 24/7 call center for response and support, using the AT&T wireless network.

AT&T added that this personal emergency response system (PERS) in one simple, mobile solution is durable, lightweight, easy to setup and has a rechargeable battery. The device is hands-free and allows two-way voice communication with the call center for fast assistance. The device also offers GPS location service that helps first responders determine where a fall has occurred.

Purchase of either option gives the customer an AT&T EverThere device, a charger, a lanyard and a belt clip.

"EverThere offers powerful and reliable technology that can monitor for falls in and out of the home," said Chris Penrose, senior vice president of Emerging Devices, AT&T. "With the inclusion of AT&T's nationwide wireless service, we are giving our customers greater peace of mind and the flexibility to go where they want and live active lifestyles."

"Today's seniors are unlike generations past; they are on the go and committed to living active lives," said Tim Smokoff, CEO of Numera, the device manufacturer. "With EverThere, people no longer have to choose between safety and independence. We're pleased to work with AT&T in offering seniors a service that can give them the peace of mind to live active lifestyles longer."

EverThere will also be available to the health industry: insurance companies, healthcare providers, home health agencies and assisted living operators. "We're focused on helping to improve patient outcome by developing innovative mHealth services for both consumers and businesses within the healthcare ecosystem," said Chris Hill, senior vice president, Advanced Solutions, AT&T Business Solutions.

This solution is part of AT&T's complete suite of remote patient monitoring (RPM) care solutions, including the AT&T RPM software-as- a-service and an end-to-end managed RPM service. Together, these solutions provide a foundation for full aging-in-place care.
