LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NXT-ID,
Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) announces it has been awarded a U.S.
General Services Administration (GSA) contract to bring its
personal emergency response systems (PERS) to federal, state and
local government purchasers as of Q3 2021. NXT-ID will now be able
to distribute their life-saving technology directly to long-term
partners like the Veterans Health Administration and to other
government agencies to help more people feel safe and secure at an
affordable price.
NXT-ID's goal is to use our patented technology to help improve the
lives of seniors and others affordably.
In the U.S.,10,000 people turn 65 every day, and the number of
older adults will double over the next several decades,
representing more than 23% of the population by 2050. PERS will
continue to play a critical role as many people want to age
gracefully and live independently at home for as long as
possible.
"Our company's main goal is to use our patented technology to
help improve the lives of seniors and others we serve in the most
affordable way. Our products allow people who need special care to
live confidently knowing the moment they need help, we are there
for them," said Chia-Lin Simmons,
NXT-ID CEO. "We're thrilled to be awarded this General Services
Administration contract. These contracts are challenging to win and
with this partnership now we can bring our products and services to
more federal agencies, states and state municipalities so that they
can serve more people in that partnership."
Millions of Americans today depend on NXT-ID's affordable,
reliable emergency response IoT devices to keep them connected to
emergency services and loved ones. The company offers devices that
can be used at home (Freedom Alert) or on-the-go (Guardian 911)
allowing people to connect with their caretakers and/or call 911 if
there's an emergency.
For several years, NXT-ID and its subsidiary LogicMark have
worked closely with the Veterans Health Administration--the largest
integrated health care system in the
United States--to provide life-saving devices from thousands
of healthcare facilities across the country to veterans for free.
Now, their new contract with the GSA gives the company the
opportunity to provide its care technology through more federal
agencies as well as some of the largest state governments including
the state of Florida, to expand
their product reach to more even people who need them.
"We really want to be a partner for the people and families we
serve with this new GSA contract," continued Simmons. "NXT-ID is
offering a solution that is convenient and affordable for everyone.
There's no monthly bill. Already the devices are free for veterans
when they get it from their local VA hospitals."
"This is just the beginning for us as we grow and continue to
reinvent technology for what we call the caring economy," added
Simmons. "I think we are so used to the latest technology being
geared toward the younger generation, but our goal is to provide
new, compassionate technologies that truly make a positive impact
on people's lives. I'm excited for what's in store for our
customers."
