VGM Group partners with BeClose home activity monitoring system

VGM Group, Inc., of Waterloo, Iowa, last week announced a partnership with BeClose, makers of a Web-based home activity monitoring system that helps provide peace of mind to families of those who live alone. The BeClose system uses wireless sensors to recognize the daily patterns of a loved one and alert family members or caregivers when an unexpected change in habits occurs. “BeClose is for providers who want to help hospitals reduce re-admissions, generate additional retail revenue and/or add services to their home accessibility offerings,” said Alan Morris, director of VGM Alternate Care Programs.
