New Products: Tunstall Vi, Cellular PERS, Tunstall iVi Fall Detection Pendant

New Telehealthcare Products

Tunstall Americas released three new products that improve patient care and enhance outcomes. "These exciting products underscore the value of our telehealthcare specialization and our commitment to innovation," said Brad Waugh, President and CEO, Tunstall Americas. "Capabilities like the Tunstall Vi's second button that support non-emergency services and enhance patient care is a great example of the power of our Integrated Engagement Platform."

These solutions expand on Tunstall's proven telecare/PERS systems, and will be on display at the American Telemedicine Association meeting in Austin, Texas, May 5-7, 2013.

• Tunstall Vi telecare/PERS unit is sleek in design with an attractive non-clinical look and features a 2^nd button that can be customized for non-emergency needs such as nurse triage, medication refills, or appointments. The base console supports push-button and intelligent fall detection pendants. It is compatible with land line, cable, and VoIP phone services and is FDA listed and UL approved. 
  
• Tunstall CEL450, home based cellular PERS, brings safety into homes without traditional telephone or internet phone service. This FDA listed, UL approved system provides families with more choices in home health monitoring solutions.
  
• Tunstall iVi Fall Detection Pendant automatically detects falls. The monitoring center is alerted when a fall is detected. Receiving assistance quickly after a fall ensures better outcomes for patients. The iVi Fall Detection Pendant is compatible with the Tunstall Vi and CEL450 units.

These exciting additions to Tunstall's Integrated Engagement Platform improve care management, decrease costs, and help provide better outcomes. "Tunstall is unique in our depth of experience and dedication to remote patient monitoring, particularly Personal Emergency Response," said Kevin Doyle, Telecare/PERS Solutions Manager. "Since we design and manufacture our own equipment and have over 30 years' experience in emergency contact center services, healthcare entities increasingly view Tunstall as the best long-term partner."
