NEW YORK, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Exmovere LLC, a leader in

web-based "Exmocare" Bluetooth-enabled biosensor wristwatch service for
augmenting proper medical supervision of the elderly on July 1 exclusively
at http://www.exmocare.com.

Company President David Bychkov said: "Exmocare enables elderly people
to live, travel and even drive on their own, with their families or loved
ones having the additional comfort level of receiving nearly real-time data
about their heart-rate, activity and emotions. Exmocare families can worry
less, because our wristwatch system will help let them know early, possibly
before being informed by home care specialists, if something's out of the
ordinary with their loved one."
The Exmocare wristwatch monitors its wearer's pulse, heart rate
variability and skin conductance. The Exmocare wristwatch also monitors the
subject's level of activity via built in accelerometer to determine whether
the subject is active, inactive or sedentary.
It also can be used for rudimentary assessments of up to 10 different
emotional states, including when its elderly wearer is relaxed, upbeat,
worried, agitated, etc. The emotional data monitored and reported by the
Exmocare wristwatch is based upon established algorithms and calculations
relied upon in the fields of neuropsychology and biofeedback, and in
Exmocare's internal testing has yielded accurate results (with a 25% margin
of error).
"Obviously there are enormous applications for government agencies to
take advantage of," said Cheyenne Crow, Exmovere VP for Government
Services. "Exmocare will help increase the comfort of veterans and wounded
soldiers, as well as their families, worldwide."
Each wristwatch includes Windows, Windows Mobile and/or Pocket PC
compatible software. It processes user-configured alerts to families and
care providers by SMS, email and/or instant messenger. Easy-to-interpret
taskbar emoticons and graphs at each care provider account display changes
in the wearer's emotional and physical activity.
When used as intended, Exmocare, while not a medical device, is a
useful and affordable supplement for families desiring additional automated
monitoring and reporting, not in place of, but along with
doctor-recommended home care.
Starting on July 1, Exmocare customers can sign up for subscription
plans that in most cases come bundled with a pre-paid GSM Bluetooth cell
phone for transmitting the data to an online account. The 36-month Exmocare
plan includes both, a pre-paid phone and a GPS car-kit to monitor elderly
drivers.
