IAR enables medical-alert system development
IAR Systems
Embedded Workbench
IAR Systems has been selected by Rescue Alert, a manufacturer of personal medical-alert systems aimed at helping people with medical conditions.
Rescue Alert's product is called the 'MXD Personal Response System'.
It comes in the form of a base unit, combined with a small transmitter button worn on a wrist band or on a necklace.
The MXD device features two-way voice communications between the user and the monitoring service, has a transmitter range of up to 600ft, is waterproof and can operate on the base unit's backup battery for up to 90hrs.
A coin lithium battery in the transmitter button may last up to five years.
This personal medical-alert system allows at-risk adults to call for help by pushing their transmitter button and talking to the monitoring service attendant over the two-way speaker.
The MXD personal alert system will be used in hospitals, home health-care facilities and users' residences.
The unit can be purchased or rented on a monthly basis.
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM was said to be the development solution that offered the best speed and code efficiency required in this product.
