MetAlert, Inc. announced the launch of its new 4G GPS SmartSole in Sweden through its distribution partner Posifon AB. The upgraded GPS SmartSole introduction will be an important part of Posifon's recently won national service agreement with major municipalities across Sweden related to providing home care, personal tracking, and security for seniors. Initial shipments of the GPS SmartSole will be distributed to healthcare organizations, from memory care clinics to hospitals and social care organizations across Sweden.

The next generation SmartSoles were recently featured in a BCS article [1], titled ‘How a hidden Tracker is Saving Lives'. The BCS organization is the chartered institute for IT, with over 60,000 members in 150 countries. Metalert is also expected to announce the launch of its GPS SmartSole Plus product later in the quarter.

The GPS SmartSole Plus will come with all of the normal GPS SmartSole features plus Wi-Fi tracking for indoors and Bluetooth for connecting to other wearable medical devices, thus turning the SmartSole Plus into a mobile hub. It will also boast a new innovative design which can support an add-on option for carbon fiber reinforcement plates for heavy duty or military grade use.
