LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MetAlert, Inc. (OTC: MLRT) (“the Company”) , a pioneer in GPS wearable technology and a global provider in the field of human and asset tracking and recovery systems, announced today it has received an initial order of GPS SmartSoles from Skyangel Security headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico.
MetaAlert anticipates that by partnering with Skyangle, a company that is dedicated to providing top-tier security solutions across North and Central America, with a dedicated team of over 200 security agents operating 24/7, servicing over 850 corporate clients, including global giants like Mabe and DHL Supply Chain, will expand its SmartSole market share into the security market across Mexico and Latin America.

The Netherlands has approximately 850,000 retirees and seniors over 80, with a considerable portion affected by dementia and Alzheimer's. The growing number of seniors across these countries which provide robust healthcare services, low cost of living and comfortable climate are very comforting to the needs of this demographic making them an increasingly attractive territory for selling SmartSoles.
“We are excited to have formulated relationships in these four countries with excellent partners that focus on security solutions and providing innovative digital solutions to support seniors and enhancing quality of life through digital remote patient monitoring, fall prevention devices, and physical rehabilitation plans,” commented Andrew Duncan, MetAlert Director.
