CHICAGO, January 11^th, 2022 - CareBand, a Third Wave company, and CalChip Connect today announced a partnership for global distribution and fulfillment for CareBand’s personal health and safety solutions. These solutions combine LoRaWAN technology with indoor and outdoor location tracking, gesture recognition, i.e., falls and changes in condition alerts.

CareBand was started to help people living with dementia stay safe and to provide peace of mind to their families. Since its inception in 2016, the company has expanded to offer solutions in senior living, hospitals, hospitality, and education markets.

The company also announced a partnership with Helium, the People’s Network, to leverage the vast public network and allow CareBand customers to stay safe wherever they are.
