ActiveCare has received the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval for its second generation personal assistance link (PAL) handset, the ActiveOne+.

The ActiveOne+ uses tracking and vital sign monitoring technologies which aid ActiveCare to respond to seniors’ acute health needs.

ActiveCare chairman and CEO Jim Dalton said the combination of GPS locating and cellular triangulation combined with health monitoring technologies allow CareSpecialists to track and dispatch help no matter where the member may be, at home, around town or while traveling.

"We have a portfolio that addresses the needs of the growing senior population, that offers seniors the freedom to remain independent living in their own home, aging in place," Dalton said.
